Abstract

As part of United States Air Force remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) weapon-strike operations, Predator/Reaper crewmembers participate in the targeting and destruction of enemy combatants and witness the aftermath via live video feed. Although the demand for weapon-strike operations has increased dramatically, the emotional impact of engaging in remote warfare remains unclear. The purpose of this study is to gather both quantitative and qualitative data on the emotional reactions of remote warriors and examine potential occupational (e.g., number of years as an RPA crewmember, prior military experience, prior combat deployments, and total number of weapon-strike missions), demographic (i.e., age, marital status, gender, and dependents living at home), and mission-specific (i.e., target familiarity, mission outcome, and high-definition vs. standard-definition video feed) correlates of negative reactions. Seventy-four RPA crewmembers participated in semi-structured interviews. Relative risk (RR) analyses indicated only witnessing civilian casualties and witnessing nonhuman collateral damage were associated with elevated risk for negative reactions (RR = 1.91, p < .05, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.11–3.26, and RR = 1.94, p < .05, 95% CI: 1.14–3.29). Limitations of the study, directions for future research, and potential implications of these findings for selection, training, and post-mission support are discussed.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: This study assessed the efficacy of the marriage checkup, as adapted to integrated primary care settings and active-duty military couples, for improving relationship health and depressive symptoms. METHOD: Married couples (N = 244, Mage = 32.4, 67.6% Caucasian) in which at least one member was active-duty Air Force were recruited from bases across the U.S. via online advertisement, emails sent from medical clinics to enrolled beneficiaries, social media posts, and flyers, and randomly assigned to active treatment or waitlist control. Treatment and control couples were linked in pairs sequentially and pairs completed nine sets of questionnaires at baseline, 1-, and 6-month posttreatment. Outcome measures included the Couples Satisfaction Index, Intimate Safety Questionnaire, Responsive Attention Scale, Partner Compassion Scale, Communication Skills Test, and the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale. RESULTS: A three-level multilevel model indicated, after adjustment for multiple comparisons, treatment couples experienced statistically significant small-to-moderate improvements compared to the control group (Cohen's d from 0.21 to 0.55) at 1 month that were sustained at 6 months for relationship satisfaction, responsive attention, compassion toward their partners, communication skills, intimate safety, and depressive symptoms. CONCLUSIONS: A longitudinal randomized control trial of the MC supports the hypothesis that the MC significantly improves relationship satisfaction, intimacy, communication, partner compassion, responsive attention, and depressive symptoms. Implications for theory, treatment, and dissemination are discussed.
