Overview

Active participation in combat exposes the soldier to extreme stress, which may result in both immediate and long-term impairment in his mental health. The most prevalent effects that are associated with combat-related stress are combat stress reaction (CSR) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (APA, 1987, 1994; Solomon, 1993).
