stress-related issues.

"These combat psychologists would move with soldiers in the field to provide immediate counselling if the need arises," Mandal explained. The defence ministry has already taken a series of counter measures, including counselling and yoga classes, to help soldiers cope with stress.

This apart, religious teachers, junior commissioned officers (JCOs) of the Army Education Corps (AEC) and regimental medical officers have been identified as psychological health mentors, trained in psychiatry and have been posted at various units.

Fifty JCOs of the Army Medical Corps (AMC) have been trained as counsellors and posted to the northern and eastern commands where troops are engaged in counter-insurgency operations.

Among other steps, rotation of units and individuals has been ordered to minimise exposure to stress, and leave rules have liberalised to permit splitting of causal and annual leave.
