The experiences that military personnel have while being deployed end up being detrimental to their mental health and the performance of the organization they belong to. Researchers use measuring events and scales to understand the effect of stressors on psychological health. The US Mental Health Advisory Team-Combat Experiences Scale (MHAT-CES) used items to measure potentially morally injurious experiences after military personnel came back from deployment. In the first study, three components were reused, as in past studies: dangerous environments, exposure to dead and injured people, and active combat. The fourth and fifth components of potentially morally injurious experiences and life threats have been divided into past components related to them. In the second study, the structure of the scale was replicated, and the results of potentially morally injurious experiences were connected with an increase in psychological distress, which can lead to wanting to leave the military.
