Moral Injury and the Ethics of Military Conditioning

军事人员以战斗力和适应力的名义接受广泛的训练。该项目的目的是确定这种条件的任何预期影响是否构成“道德伤害”，并描述如果是这样的话，伦理和政策的影响。这将加深我们对军队招募、训练和社会化的道德规范的理解。预期的结果包括一份说明，说明在为职业军人的部署做准备时，由于可能造成精神伤害而应对他们承担的义务。这将提高澳大利亚在道德上积极主动的声誉，并对其军人和妇女的福利采取全面的办法。

Military personnel undergo extensive conditioning in the name of combat effectiveness and resilience. The aim of this project is to determine whether any of the intended effects of this conditioning constitute "moral injuries", and to describe the ethical and policy implications if so. This will deepen our understanding of the ethics of military recruitment, training, and socialisation. The expected outcomes include a statement of the obligations owed to professional soldiers on account of the potential for moral injury in preparing them for deployment. This will enhance Australia’s reputation for being ethically proactive and for taking a holistic approach to the welfare of its military servicemen and women.
