Severe Stress or Battle Fatigue Reactions


You do not need specialized training to recognize severe stress or battle fatigue reactions that will cause problems to the soldier, the unit, or the mission. Reactions that are less severe, however, are more difficult to detect. To determine whether a person needs help you must observe him to see whether he is doing something meaningful performing his duties, taking care of himself, or behaving in an unusual fashion or acting out of character.
