Combat and Operational Stress Control: This manual provides doctrinal guidance for controlling excessive stress in combat and other operational environments. It identifies command and leadership responsibilities for COSC. It identifies COSC consultation, training, and education assistance available for units. This manual provides definitive guidance to BH personnel and CSC units for their COSC mission and for management of COSR and other behavioral disordered patients (BDPs). It identifies the requirements for COSC consultation, planning, coordination, rehearsal, and implementation of the COSC plan contained in the FHP annex of the operation order (OPORD). Many stressors in a combat situation are due to deliberate enemy actions aimed at killing, wounding, or demoralizing our Soldiers and our allies. Other stressors are due to the operational environment.
