I'm speaking on behalf of the Department of Defence, which is outside my lane, but certainly the issue of resilience is something that we've been working on for quite a deal of time. Dr. Hodson is also ex-military, a psychologist, and can probably speak to some of the issues. We are building this into our programs and drawing on some of the experience of the U.S. with resilience training.
We find resilience to be necessary regardless of threats, theatre, or operations. The trauma of military service can exist even in our humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, particularly in the experiences we had in Banda Aceh. It can be present in border protection and in the whole sweep we expect our soldiers, sailors, airmen, and airwomen to operate in. All these missions can be intensely stressful for a range of reasons, not the least of which is ISIS and the uncertainty of that threat.
Mental and physical resilience are key issues. Our defence force is working very hard in that space—both in our recruitment and initial training and also in our predeployment training and in the continuum of service—to provide people with the skills they need to cope with these issues.
