| Abstract | Research with Stinger teams (baseline) conducted under benign environmental conditions established that engagement performance of both the team chief and gunner was significantly impaired by the Mission Oriented Protective Posture (MOPP) clothing. This study replicated the experimental design used in the baseline research and included exposure to heat and exercise (HEX). Workload and stress levels, casualty rates, and physiological measures were significantly affected by the combination of MOPP gear, heat, and exercise. However, the expected Stinger engagement performance decrement did not occur. Explanations for the lack of a MOPP4, heat, and exercise decrement focus on the arousing effects of high heat on performance and motivational differences between the baseline and HEX groups. |
