Mental

Mental readiness is the ability to meet the mental demands of any combat or duty position, adapt successfully in the presence of extreme risk and adversity, accomplish the mission, and continue to fight and win. Mental readiness is the capacity to adapt successfully in the presence of risk and adversity. It can be seen as a set of personality traits, an assortment of skills or ways of behaving and thinking, or a combination of both personality traits and behaviors.

Whether Soldiers think of mental readiness as something they have (such as a personality trait or disposition), something they do (such as a plan, strategy, or way of behaving), or something they believe (such as a faith, positive outlook, or neutral outlook), it will help Soldiers better understand uncertain situations and will make them aware of their own mental processes
