As noted, the course consists of five modules and 12 lessons. The military learns to recognize stupor, panic, aggression, hysteria and other acute stress reactions, to regain control over their own condition, to provide psychological first aid to a brother or sister, as well as to use breathing, grounding and other self-regulation techniques.
