Military personnel experience a variety of military-centered and non-military-centered psychological stress. Investigations of cognition in military personnel have assumed a variety of neurocognitive tools that evaluate memory, visuospatial integration, reaction time, and executive functions. Such cognitive domains are seen as highly important for performance in military settings. These settings include navigating unfamiliar territory, executing orders while overcoming distractions, or reacting to unexpected threats. The modernization of warfare places extra demands on a soldier's ability to surveil and answer to different sources of information. Furthermore, in military contexts, the executive functions of inhibition, shifting, and updating are highly applicable. This pushes the belief that cognitive resilience should adopt a customized approach to take into consideration the different cognitive challenges and stressors that are particular to each separate role.
