Abstract

1 min read

In this study of US regular Army enlisted soldiers during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, SOF operators were less likely than other soldiers to engage in suicidal behavior, but it was more likely to be fatal when they did. Larger studies are needed to understand suicide risk among female operators.
