Can training with AI create a ‘bulletproof mind?’
By: Courtney Crosby  
Tactically efficient soldiers psychologically hedge against the consequences of war. Why? Because hedging is a behavior that’s trained over time to increase effectiveness in the face of extreme uncertainty on the battlefield. By maximizing the perception of normality when it comes to lethal scenarios , the soldiers’ physiological response to the unknown becomes more predictable.
Conventional training in support of that hedging centers on range qualifications, physical fitness, equipment-based instruction, and unit exercises. Whereas unconventional units may have additional access to sports psychologists and human performance experts. In both areas, the goal is to rewire residual biological synapses from the soldier’s pre-military life. That is, the end state is to create muscle memory around activities such as engaging an adversarial element or carrying a 60-pound ruck.
