从持久自由行动和伊拉克自由行动返回的军人的驾驶能力没有得到很好的报告，这是他们恢复正常生活的一个重要方面。本文回顾了这一队列中不安全驾驶的独特风险因素。特别是，轻度创伤性脑损伤和创伤后应激障碍的认知和心理症状，两个最常见的诊断影响这些返回的战士，被指定，并检查其可能与受损的驾驶。“战斗心理驱动战术”的潜在负面影响（即，规避驾驶技能）作为其军事图尔斯的一部分，这些服务成员获得的也突出了。文章最后评论了驾驶障碍对该人群的功能影响，包括参与康复和社区重返社会的限制，以及认识到在该领域进行进一步研究的必要性。
The driving abilities of service members returning from Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OEF/OIF) have not been well reported and are an important aspect of their return to normal life. This article reviews the unique risk factors for unsafe driving in this cohort. In particular, the cognitive and psychological symptoms of mild traumatic brain injury and postraumatic stress disorder, two of the most common diagnoses affecting these returning warriors, are specified, and their possible association with impaired driving is examined. The potential negative impact of the "battlemind driving tactics" (i.e., evasive driving skills) acquired by these service members as part of their military tours is also highlighted. The article concludes with comments about the functional consequences of impaired driving in this population, including limits to participation in rehabilitation and community reintegration, as well as recognition of the need for further research in this area.
