Book Military Stress and Performance

Download or read book Military Stress and Performance written by George E. Kearney and published by Melbourne Univ. Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People comprise the backbone of any military force. But what happens when the stress of operations becomes overwhelming and those people fail to cope? Stress can have negative consequences for the individual, the organisation, and even for overall combat effectiveness. The Australian Defence Force has spent many years researching how to maximise individual resilience and performance in the face of extreme stress. For the first time this wealth of knowledge and experience has been brought together in one volume. This work examines the impact of highly stressful events, such as combat and peacekeeping operations, on individual troops and leaders, with a particular focus on factors that build resilience and maximise performance under stress. Managing stress is an important issue not only for the military, but equally for other high-risk professions such as the police and emergency services. This work provides a unique synthesis of a wide range of research, and clinical and personal experience, providing a coherent, integrated approach to the subject. Of particular use to mental health professionals, it will also be of interest to general readers of military and psychology books.

Download or read book Women Peace and Security written by Helena Studdert and published by . This book was released on 2015-11-30 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Australian Defence Force (ADF) has come a long way in its understanding of gender issues. We recognise that our future defence capability will depend on drawing our human resources from all sectors of society. Women constitute over 50 per cent of Australia's population. We need to tap more effectively into this talent pool. Initiatives over the past two decades have seen an increasingly successful integration of women into the three services. More recently, there has been a concerted effort to integrate gender considerations into policy, training, planning and operations. The Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda has been a critical guide in this learning process. I, and the ADF executive leadership, strongly support the Defence Implementation Plan (DIP), part of the Australian National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security 2012-2018. We are committed to doing everything possible to fully integrate women and gender considerations into the ADF. New policies and programs and senior leadership efforts are not enough to bring about the deep cultural change that is needed. It is not just about employing more women. All members of the ADF and those we work with from across government and the non-government and private sectors need to understand WPS principles. We need to normalise WPS and gender considerations in everyday decision making.The publication demonstrates through practical example how WPS can be incorporated into military or organisational planning to improve operational outcomes and achieve mission objectives. It shows how good leadership is predicated on creative, responsive and inclusive thinking, and an ability to absorb new ways of seeing the world.This publication is a useful tool for those who need to understand the importance of changing how we do things within the ADF. WPS may be only one element of an evolving global landscape, but it is a most important one. By embracing WPS, including a gender perspective, we will not only ensure continued capability development within the ADF, but also that the ADF helps more effectively the communities and peoples we are trained to protect.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Face of the Nation studies women's leadership and gender relations across some of the worst performing and most male-dominated spheres of state--international affairs. Exploring the stories from almost 80 global women leaders, as well as institutional histories and policies across diplomacy, defense, national security, policing, and intelligence, this book seeks to understand why women remain under-represented on the global stage, despite many changing social and policy norms. Using Australia as a leading case study, the book extends theories on gender and international institutions to understand the gendered, racialized, and heteronormative structures that continue to limit and impact on diverse women's leadership and participation internationally.

Download or read book No Front Line written by Chris Masters and published by Allen & Unwin. This book was released on 2017-10-25 with total page 709 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The soldiers of the SAS, the Commandos and Special Operations Engineer Regiment are Australia's most highly trained soldiers. Their work is often secret, their bravery undeniable and for thirteen years they were at the forefront of Australia's longest war. Shunning acclaim, they are the Australian Defence Forces' brightest and best skilled. In an extraordinary investigation undertaken over ten years, Chris Masters opens up the heart of Australia's Special Forces and their war in Afghanistan. He gives voice to the soldiers, he takes us to the centre of some of the fiercest combat Australia has ever experienced and provides the most intimate examination of what it is like to be a member of this country's elite fighting forces. But he also asks difficult questions that reveal controversial clouds hanging over our Special Operations mission in Afghanistan. For Australia, there is no more important war to examine in detail. Afghanistan lives in our recent past and will continue to occupy our future. Masterfully told, No Front Line will find a place as one of Australia's finest books on contemporary soldiering. 'In this remarkable book about the intense combat environment experienced by our soldiers in Afghanistan, Chris Masters captures the highs, the lows, the courage and the sacrifice of Australian warriors and their loved ones in our longest war.' - Air Chief Marshal Sir Angus Houston AK, AFC (Ret'd) 'This book tells a story that many of us had not told our loved ones and will no doubt help to articulate and heal all those who sacrificed much in and out of uniform.' - Commando Warrant Officer 'I was impressed by [No Front Line's] detail, quality and objectivity...I wanted to reassure you that most Regiment members understand this and are speaking positively about the book.' - Former SASR Patrol Sergeant 'Thank you Chris Masters for your dedication and attention to detail in documenting this most comprehensive story of Australian Special Forces in Afghanistan.' - Former Commando corporal 'I have always felt that 90% of the blokes in the unit would be supportive of the book...' - SASR Troop Sergeant 'Brilliant. There's seriously no one else in Australia with the knowledge that Chris Masters has in relation to Australian Special Forces in Afghanistan. Lots of lessons learned and examples of heroism that if not for Chris Masters would be lost forever.' - Former Commando Major 'Thanks for your professionalism and intellectual honesty. It is much needed in this space.' - Former SASR Trooper 'Well done. Great to see the boys being recognised for their sacrifice.' - Former Commando Lance Corporal 'I think you captured the feelings of many of us at the end of that deployment perfectly.' - Former Special Forces Major
