Soldiers

Soldiers are members of a military force, typically trained to fight in armed conflicts.
They play a crucial role in defending their country and its interests.
Soldiers undergo rigorous training to develop the physical and mental skills necessary for combat, including weapons proficiency, tactics, and survival techniques.
They may be deployed in a variety of settings, from traditional battlefields to peacekeeping missions, and are expected to uphold the values of honor, courage, and loyalty.
Soldiers face unique challenges and risks, both physical and psychological, in the course of their duties.
Thier role in modern warfare continues to evolve, as technological advances and changing geopolitical landscapes reshape the nature of military engagements.
Deapite the hazards, soldiers remain a vital component of national security and often serve as symbols of patriotism and sacrifice.

The Army STARRS HADS includes individual-level records from 38 Army and DoD administrative data systems for all soldiers on active duty between January 1, 2004, and December 31, 2009 (n = 1.66 million). This includes 975,057 regular Army soldiers (i.e., excluding those in the U.S. Army National Guard and Army Reserve) comprising 37.0 million person-months of service. During this time 21,740 unique soldiers had a suicide attempt, suspicious injury, or suicide ideation. We selected an equal-probability sample of 183,826 control person-months from the Army, exclusive of individuals identified as cases (soldiers with a suicide attempt, suspicious injury, or suicide ideation) and any person-months during which a soldier died (suicides, combat deaths, homicides, and deaths due to other injuries or illnesses). To create the control sample, we selected every 200th person-month after stratifying the HADS records by number of months in service, deployment status (never, currently, and previously deployed), gender, and rank. This control sample was selected to reduce the computational intensity of statistical analyses (described in the following sections). The total analytic sample combined the person-months involving a nonfatal suicidal event with the control sample person-months (total n = 205,566 person-months). Control sample person-months were each assigned a weight of 200 to adjust for the undersampling of months not associated with a non-fatal suicidal event.

Recruitment took place mainly in five locations: México City (México), Medellín (Colombia), Lima (Perú), Arica (Chile) and Porto Alegre (Brazil). With the exception of Chile, most subjects recruited in these cities were students and staff from the universities participating in this research. In Chile about 2/3 of the subjects recruited were professional soldiers. In Brazil ∼10% of samples were collected in smaller towns of the states of Rio Grande do Sul, Bahia and Rondonia. Adult subjects of both sexes were invited to participate mainly through public lectures and media presentations. Maps showing the number of volunteers in each unique birthplace are presented in Figure S4. Being a convenience sample, the main collection sites are overrepresented on these maps for each country. We obtained ethics approval from: Escuela Nacional de Antropología e Historia (México), Universidad de Antioquia (Colombia), Universidad Perúana Cayetano Heredia (Perú), Universidad de Tarapacá (Chile), Universidad Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil) and University College London (UK). All participants provided written informed consent. Blood samples were collected by a certified phlebotomist and DNA extracted following standard laboratory procedures.

As described in more detail previously in this issue (Kessler et al., this issue ), the AAS is a cross-sectional survey of active duty Army personnel exclusive of Soldiers in Basic Combat Training administered in quarterly replicates to a total of nearly 50,000 Soldiers during calendar years 2011–2012. Each quarterly AAS replicate consisted of a stratified (by Army Command-location and unit size) probability sample of Army units, excluding units of fewer than 30 Soldiers (less than 2% of all Army personnel). All targeted personnel in these units were ordered to attend an informed consent presentation explaining study purposes, confidentiality procedures, and the voluntary nature of participation before requesting written informed consent for a group self-administered questionnaire (SAQ). Respondents were additionally asked for consent to link their Army and Department of Defense administrative records to their SAQ responses and to participate in future longitudinal follow-up data collections. Identifying information (name, birthday, SSN for record linkage; telephone number, email, secondary contact information for longitudinal follow-up) was collected from consenting respondents and kept in a separate secure file. These recruitment, consent, and data protection procedures were approved by the Human Subjects Committees of the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences for the Henry M. Jackson Foundation (the primary grantee), the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan (the organization implementing Army STARRS surveys), and all other collaborating organizations.
The clinical reappraisal study (CRS) was carried out between March 2012 and November 2012. All quarterly AAS replicates over that time period were based on representative samples of Soldiers stationed both in the continental U.S. and elsewhere in the world other than a combat theater, while the Q2-3 2012 replicates also included probability samples of Soldiers stationed in Afghanistan who were surveyed in group-administered sessions while they were passing through Kuwait either leaving for or returning from their mid-tour leave. However, because of logistical issues requiring that the CRS clinical reappraisal interviews be administered within two weeks of the AAS survey, the CRS was implemented exclusively in the continental U.S. among Regular (active component) Army AAS respondents providing consent for administrative data linkage and completing the SAQ. Activated Army Reserve and National Guard respondents were excluded from the CRS due to small numbers.
Although, as noted above, all unit members in these replicates were ordered to report to the informed consent session, 19.4% of those in the replicates used for the CRS were absent due to conflicting duty assignments. The vast majority of those attending (99.6%) consented to the survey and 98.8 % of consenters completed the survey. In addition, 71.4% of completers provided successful record linkage. Most incomplete surveys were due to logistical complications (e.g., units either arriving late to survey sessions or having to leave early), although some respondents needed more than the allotted 90 minutes to complete the survey. The survey completion-successful-linkage cooperation rate was 63.9% and the completion-successful-linkage response rate was 51.5 % based on the American Association of Public Opinion Research COOP1 and RR1 calculation methods (American Association for Public Opinion Research, 2009 ).

Operation: SAFETY recruited USAR/NG soldiers and their partners over Summer 2014 – Fall 2015, throughout upstate New York. The protocol was approved by the [BLINDED – AUTHOR’S INSTITUTION] and vetted through the Army Human Research Protections Office, Office of the Chief, Army Reserve, as well as the Adjutant General of the National Guard. At drills soldiers were given a 10-minute overview of the project, including project goals, study timeline (three surveys over two years), and confidentiality. Once all questions were answered, soldiers were invited to complete a one page screening form. Couples screened on six inclusion criteria: one member is a current USAR/NG soldier; married/living as if married; soldier’s age is between 18 and 45; both partners have had at least one alcoholic beverage in the past year; both partners speak and understand English; and both partners are willing and able to participate. Following screening, ineligible participants were notified by email; eligible participants were contacted via phone to review study objectives and confidentiality procedures.
Recruitment identified 731 who were eligible for the study. Of those, 572 (78%) agreed to participate and given the nature of the main study was to examine spousal influence, only surveys where both partners completed the entire survey were included for follow-up (N=418). The only significant difference between those that were eligible and enrolled vs those who were eligible and did not enroll occurred when a civilian partner screened for the study (n=11). These couples were less likely to enroll (p<.001). For this work, we present data from a subset of the main study based upon soldiers with combat experience (N=257).

The suicide cases were U.S. Army Soldiers (n = 135) who died by suicide while on active duty between August 01, 2011‐November 01, 2013. This sample excluded soldiers in the Army Reserve and National Guard and soldiers who died while deployed, as these soldiers were excluded from the pool of control soldiers by the design of the Army STARRS (14 (link)). The research team interviewed a next‐of‐kin (NOK) and/or first‐line Army supervisor (SUP) for n = 135 suicides. The response rates for the NOK and SUP cases were 61.6% and 69.5% respectively.

The controls were drawn from a large (N = 5428) representative sample of living soldiers who participated in the Army STARRS All Army Study (AAS). Two groups of living controls were selected in two different manners. First, propensity‐score matched (15 (link)) (PS) controls (n = 128) were matched to Army suicide decedents on 22 sociodemographic and military characteristics. The second group of controls reported suicidal ideation (SI) in the past year in the AAS survey (n = 118). (16 (link)) Neither group of controls differed from eligible AAS respondents who did not participate on: sex, race/ethnicity, marital status, or age of entry into the Army. However, controls were slightly older, had more dependents, were higher rank, and had higher educational attainment; although these effects were small in magnitude (rs = 0.09–0.18). The response rates for the NOK and SUP propensity‐matched (PS) and ideator (SI) controls were 66.7% and 56.7% respectively.

This study recruited Taiwan military volunteer soldiers as its research participants. Taiwan military organizations spread across the country. To obtain representative samples, this study managed to get the phone numbers of army recruitment centers, asking them to help distribute questionnaires. In March 2020, 1,000 copies were mailed to the centers. In April 2020, 357 questionnaires were collected, while another 398 ones were gathered in May 2020. A total of 755 copies out of 1,000 were collected, of which 30 were deemed invalid after manual screening for missing responses and the same option for almost each question. Thus, 725 out of 755 questionnaires were valid, an effective recovery rate of 72.5%. Bentler and Chou (1987) proposed that the number of samples should be at least five times the estimated parameter while the estimated parameter is approximately twice the questionnaire items. The questionnaire for this study had 48 items, so 480 valid copies would suffice. This research obtained 725 valid ones, which meets the requirement.

The study was approved by the Ethical Committee of the First Affiliated Hospital (Xijing Hospital) of the Fourth Military Medical University, with approved numbers KY20212173 and NCT05155358. All procedures relating to human participants were performed following the Declaration of Helsinki. All participants signed an informed consent form. The inclusion criteria were: male military personnel aged 18–35. The exclusion criteria were: participants who smoked, were injured, or had a history of gastrointestinal, lung, heart, or kidney diseases. Finally, 32 healthy male soldiers with an average age of (24.59 ± 5.36) years took part in this study. The participants received training in the same base for nearly 2 years, and their living environments were similar. All participants did not take any drugs 3 months before and during the experiments. The homogenization process was performed for 7 days with the same daily training and lives. Meals were served in the same cafeteria with a relatively fixed menu and no spicy food. Smoking and drinking were prohibited.

Above the walls, the battlements established a dense and orderly array. Its primary function was to shape a dense firepower network with weapons to effectively block the siege. As demonstrated in Table 1, historical writings such as Wu Bei Zhi [25 ] and Fang Shou Ji Cheng [26 ] document the variety of weapons.
From the chart, we can summarize that the range of cold weapons is about 80 to 120 meters, and firearms can reach hundreds of meters. In the defensive war, the most commonly used arrow range of soldiers on the wall is within 120m. The distance from the moat to the city is less than 120m. Therefore, the three defense levels mentioned in this article are within the effective range of the arrows shot on the wall. Once the attack distance is no longer the limiting factor, firing network density is a measure of the defensive capacity of the outer space of the walls.
