The Navy announced the rollout plan for its new, Expanded Operational Stress Control Program, in NAVADMIN 332/20, released on Dec. 21.
The message marks the implementation of a new and more comprehensive approach to operational stress control across the fleet and includes implementation and training requirements for commands in the coming year.
The program, known by the abbreviation E-OSC, is no longer just a pre-deployment training check. Instead, the Navy has shifted to an around the clock, peer-to-peer mentality in educating the fleet and identifying those impacted by operational stress.
This new focus was initially announced in NAVADMIN 222/19. In the year since, the Navy has revamped the entire program, producing not only a new command-level approach, but also producing new training and related educational materials needed to fuel this cultural shift in the fleet.
