The experience of psychological stress in military personnel is considered through the lens of the Transactional Theory of stress, while offering contemporary updates and new insights. This review synthesises the current state of the literature regarding cognitive resilience to psychological stress in tactical athletes. Therefore, understanding the nature of the stress experienced by military personnel and the resilience of cognitive functioning to this stress is of great importance. Impaired cognitive performance as a result of this stress may have serious implications for the success of military operations and the well-being of military service men and women, particularly in combat scenarios. This requirement to perform diverse physical and mental tasks under stress, often with high stakes, has led to recognition of the term ‘tactical athlete’ for these performers. Military personnel often perform complex cognitive operations under unique conditions of intense stress. 3Discipline of Sport and Exercise Science, Faculty of Health, University of Canberra, Bruce, ACT, Australia.2Discipline of Psychology, Faculty of Health, University of Canberra, Bruce, ACT, Australia.
