Abstract

The concept of operational fatigue, a term first used during the Second World War, was subsequently extended to encompass a vague series of psychological disorders. This article looks back at an overseas operation in Afghanistan, during the summer of 2011, where the tense background situation, casualties and fatalities resulted in some members of the commando parachute units suffering from such conditions.

Keywords: Debriefing; Débriefing; Fatigue opérationnelle; Operational burn-out; Operational fatigue; Psychological suffering; Souffrance psychique.
