The purpose of this paper was to investigate the decision-making process in the military context and the impact of military and military life mental resilience in relation to operational stress during this process. A survey was conducted for this purpose (N194) using questionnaires for these three variables. It is known that the military environment exposes military personnel to a number of stressors. The theoretical problematic moved around the issue of the effect of the profession on the army in mental resilience and the impact on quality of life, and the decision-making process in people working in this field. The concept of stress, which is distinct from that of stress, plays an important role in military life, while the dimensions of stress and especially operational stress are of particular interest in this context. The operational stress is investigated historically, clinically and case-by-case. Particular emphasis is placed on the relationship between operational stress and mental resilience in the military environment. Mental resilience in the military environment is important to enhance as it contributes to the prevention of psychopathology, wound healing and community resilience enhancement. Research questions look at the relationship between decision making, stress management and the variability of mental resilience as a protective factor for stress. The results highlight the correlation between the decision-making process, stress level during military life and mental resilience. Finally, the perspectives of the research are set.
