Traumatic brain injury (TBI), in particular mild TBI (mTBI), is a relatively
common injury experienced by service members across both deployed and nondeployed
environments. Although many of the principles and practices used by civilian
health care providers for identifying and treating this injury apply to military
settings, there are unique factors that impact mTBI-related care in service
members and Veterans.
This article reviews several of these factors, including
the epidemiology of TBI in the military/Veteran population, the influence of
military culture on this condition, and identification and treatment of mTBI in
the war zone.
