MARTINEZ SANCHEZ, J.A.. Psychological aspects of survival in military operations. Sanid. Mil. [online]. 2011, vol.67, n.1, pp.43-48. ISSN 1887-8571.

Military survival training emphasizes physical fitness and the acquisition of technical skills, giving little importance to psychological preparation. Given this, this article presents and briefly analyzes a number of psychological factors that influence and limit the adaptation of the military member who is engaged in a survival situation. It then presents a set of guidelines and psychological measures, affecting the aspects described above, which are intended to improve and promote the adaptation of the military member to such situations, thereby increasing their chances of successfully overcoming them.
