In the early 2000s, significant advances were made in battlefield medicine. This was in large part attributable to changing warfighter injuries and protective gear, but also because of changed medical team posture and training.¹ Many of these lessons learned permeated into civilian and military medical training with high-fidelity simulation mannequins augmenting traditional medical training practices. It is feared, however, that these methods of training, which are still the mainstay of training at present, cannot keep up with the ever-evolving demands of modern day warfare. It is anticipated that virtual reality (VR) may be a better means of training, possibly supplanting some of the current training modalities. If implemented, VR could allow for significant cost savings in addition to narrowing the scope of training to where the military needs it most: psychological desensitization, disaggregated training, and deployed psychomotor currency. When framed another way, VR can also facilitate drilling down on and enhancing mental resiliency, working diligently toward preventive medicine and circumvention of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

利用虚拟现实在三个关键领域增强远征医疗团队的绩效。

在2000年代初期，战场医学取得了重大进展。这在很大程度上归因于战士受伤和防护装备的变化，也归因于医疗队姿势和训练的变化。^1个这些经验教训很多都渗透到了民用和军事医学培训中，高保真模拟人体模型增强了传统医学培训实践。然而，令人担心的是，这些训练方法仍然是当前训练的主要手段，无法跟上现代战争不断发展的要求。可以预料的是，虚拟现实（VR）可能是一种更好的培训手段，可能会取代某些当前的培训方式。如果实施，VR不仅可以将培训范围缩小到军方最需要的地方，还可以节省大量成本：心理脱敏，分类训练和部署心理运动货币。换种说法，VR还可促进深入挖掘并增强心理弹性，
