Military Significance: New tactical ground vehicles developed by the U.S. Army are lower in weight and capable of higher speeds than their predecessors. This combination produces repetitive mechanical shocks that are transmitted to the soldier primarily through the seating system. Under certain operating conditions, this exposure poses health and safety threats to the crew as well as performance degradation due to fatigue. The Army Surgeon General urgently required the Medical Research and Materiel Command to develop exposure standards for repetitive impacts that are relevant to the environment of soldiers operating modern tactical vehicles.
