Description 1 online resource Contents Part One : The ethics of decision-making and its reprcussions on the service men and women in the three elements : land, sea, and air -- Part Two : Ethics and leadership : tensions and resolutions between force protection and mission success -- Part Three : Integrating ethical sensitivity and ethical risk-taking in operations -- Part Four: Cultural clashes and decision-making Summary "Offering a Canadian perspective on the emotional health of servicemen and women, Military Operations and the Mind brings together researchers and practitioners from across the country to consider the impact that ethical issues have on the well-being of those who serve. Stemming from an initiative to enhance the lives of serving members by providing them with the best education and training in military ethics before and after deployments, this volume will better inform politics and public policies and enhance the welfare of the soldiers, sailors, and airmen and women who serve in singular, often harsh, and sometimes dangerous conditions. By integrating into the analysis the critical issue of well-being, this emerging field demonstrates a more holistic approach and is distinct from other fields in military, historical, philosophical, and behavioural studies. The first study of its kind, Military Operations and the Mind presents a new and helpful way to focus on the life of soldiers not only in operations overseas, but also once they return home."-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Subject Military ethics -- Canada -- Case studies Military ethics -- Canada -- Decision making -- Case studies Command of troops -- Moral and ethical aspects -- Canada -- Case studies Soldiers -- Canada -- Psychology -- Case studies Soldiers -- Health and hygiene -- Canada -- Case studies Well-being -- Canada -- Case studies Military ethics -- Canada Soldiers -- Professional ethics -- Canada Psychology, Military.
