Dynamic Situations: The Soldier's Situation Awareness

Abstract

The role of the Soldier is not as strictly defined today, as it was in World War II. In place of battlefields, the Soldier is placed in roles from peace keeper to combat Soldier in collapsed first world counties to impoverished third world nations. This fogs the understanding of situations and the role the Soldier is to play in them. Within these changing and dynamic times, a Soldier's situation awareness has become vitally important. Understanding who are combatants, civilians, and allied personnel, as well as, knowing the rules of engagement for the given situation, are all part of Soldiers situation awareness.
