Irregular Warfare occurs in resource-constrained environments with inadequate medical infrastructure or in those that are contested, denied, or sensitive.

US Central Command featured most prominently (61.9%) and was therefore heavily biased toward counterinsurgency (30.3%) as a form of IW. Most publications focused on hemorrhage (14.5%), with disease non-battle injury closely behind (14.2%). Noncombatants were the focus of a majority of the articles (29.6%) while service members were most cited as the recipients of care (41.6%). From a DOTMLPF-P perspective, organization was discussed the most (17.2%) followed by personnel (15.2%). When considering medical functional areas, medical treatment featured prominently (28.9%) trailed by medical logistics (17.6%). The key findings were categorized into 10 themes: (1) interagency and multinational synchronization are essential, (2) medical resiliency requires strategic planning, (3) Global Health Engagement is an important enabler, (4) gaps remain in medical doctrine, (5) low-signature operations drive new needs, (6) host nation capabilities are vital, (7) extended care drives new training requirements, (8) ethics and human rights remain a concern, (9) mental health remains a priority, (10) and technological innovations are required.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The advancement in medical care during the past 24 years of IW have enhanced survivability of combatants and noncombatants alike.

Military personnel are particularly vulnerable to PTSD because of frequent exposure to life-threatening situations during deployments. In France, studies have reported PTSD prevalence rates of 1.7% and 4.8% among military personnel. Early detection and intervention through regular psychological assessments are essential, as chronic PTSD offers limited therapeutic options. The PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) is widely used for screening, with demonstrated validity in various settings, including the military. However, its application among non-native French speakers in the French Foreign Legion requires validation as a result of potential comprehension issues.</p><p><strong>Materials and methods: </strong>This study assessed the psychometric properties of the French version of the PCL-5 in a cohort of French Foreign Legion soldiers deployed in Mali during Operation Barkhane in early 2022. The PCL-5 was administered approximately 1 month postdeployment. Two commonly accepted PCL-5 cutoff scores, 31 and 33, and 4 subscores were used based on recommendations. French proficiency levels were categorized into 5 levels based on validated oral and written examinations. Descriptive statistics, Spearman's correlation coefficients, analysis of variance, and the Kruskal-Wallis test were utilized to analyze the data.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The final sample comprised 250 legionnaires. The mean PCL-5 score was 21.24 (SD=5.23). Six individuals scored above the cutoff; however, after clinical examination, only one was diagnosed with PTSD (prevalence rate of 0.40%), while the others had anxiety or interpersonal issues. The PCL-5 demonstrated excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha=0.96). Subscale internal consistency ranged from 0.60 to 0.93. No significant correlation was found between PCL-5 scores and French proficiency levels.</p><p><strong>Discussion: </strong>This study confirms the reliability of the PCL-5 as a PTSD screening tool within the French Foreign Legion, demonstrating strong internal consistency and applicability across diverse linguistic backgrounds. The high sensitivity of the PCL-5 resulted in false positives, underscoring the necessity of follow-up clinical evaluations to confirm PTSD diagnoses and provide appropriate care. The lack of significant correlations between PCL-5 scores and French proficiency suggests the tool effectively screens individuals regardless of language proficiency. Future research should aim to enhance item comprehension among non-native speakers and explore additional screening instruments to complement the PCL-5 in this unique linguistic population.</p><p><strong>Clinical trial registration: </strong>20230928_C2EDFRI_4.</p>","PeriodicalId":18638,"journal":{"name":"Military Medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144187345","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
