Study of Psychological (and Associated Physiological) Effects on a Tank Crew Resulting from Being Buttoned Up

Abstract

The present report presents the results of a literature survey designed to provide information on the psychological and associated physiological factors that might be expected to affect tank crew performance while operating buttoned up. The report also lists recommended design changes to be considered or incorporated into our present tanks so that buttoned-up or continuous operations can be sustained. The findings provide a background against which armor doctrine and training concerning buttoned-up operations can be formulated.
