Psychology for Soldiers

War is often prosecuted in conjunction with other services as also with para-military forces. Indian Army is also involved in safeguarding disputed borders along mountainous and high altitude terrain. Such deployment often leads to clashes arising out of political decisions and military compulsions. India is also facing two nuclear nations; one of them operates below the thresh-hold yet there can be nuclear weapons use. The Army is also employed in aid to civil authority natural calamities and disaster management. The human role will continue to predominate as such identifying ingredients that constitute a soldier’s potential becomes necessary. The study of Psychology for the Soldiers seems not adequately carried out at least on the surface for selection training allotment of trades; and eventually for leadership tactics strategy and operational employment. This book aims at initiating more study and research on the subject.
