Abstract

Fear is a regular part of life for soldiers, especially in dangerous situations or under much pressure. It is a natural survival instinct, but it can also mess with your mind if it sticks around too long. While a little fear keeps you alert and ready to react, if someone is exposed to it for too long, it can lead to anxiety, bad choices, and even PTSD. That is why soldiers are trained to manage their fear and turn it into something they can control and use to stay sharp out on the field. Things like brotherhood, leadership, and guts play a significant role in helping them stay steady. Knowing how fear works in soldiers is super important because it helps us develop better coping strategies, mental health support, and training that keeps everyone safe and able to perform at their best, now and in the future.
