Operator Insights from Enemy Captivity
Abstract
The following work intends to generate insights from the operators perspective during their time in enemy captivity. To do that, 35 former POWs participated in one-time, semi-structured, interviews lasting an average of 53 minutes (SD = 21 min). These interviews were held in-person at the Mitchell Center for Prisoner of War Studies aboard Naval Air Station Pensacola, Florida, from November 2022 to July 2023. During interviews, participants were asked a set of predetermined questions focused on their captivity experience (see Appendix. A). A thematic analysis was conducted to find common themes expressed across participants.
