Naval Surface Force Atlantic, (SURFLANT), leaders, medical personnel and religious program specialists recently received training about the Navy’s Expanded Operational Stress Control (E-OSC) program from the Naval Center for Combat and Operational Stress Control (NCCOSC).
“There was interest among our group in offering E-OSC training units on a rotational basis,” said Cmdr. Jeffrey Quinn, a SURFLANT Ministry Center training coordinator. “The structure of the program makes it very flexible, so you don’t have to sit everyone down for hours on end to complete it. I think we’ll see a lot of ideas for implementation grow once the program is rolled out.”
Included in the training were sections about Combat and Operational Stress First Aid, which is a multi-step process for assessing and caring for Sailors suffering from psychological stress injuries, and the implementation of Buddy Care and Unit Assessment, which are intervention tools used to assess individuals/units during times of stress. The instruction also focused on use of the “Stress-o-Meter”, is a web-based tool that collects subjective information based on the Stress Continuum and creates a “dashboard” for command leadership to develop an understanding and tracking of staff stress levels.
The multi-faceted, virtual training joined east and west coast trainees and consisted of how to build resilience; to identify, engage and intervene Sailors who are suffering from stress-related injuries; and to create a command environment that is conducive to dealing with operational stress.
