Cognitive readiness focuses on defining and optimizing the human dimension of warfare. Maximizing these characteristics is essential to the effectiveness of all DoD personnel.

The Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Science and Technology has established a focus area to explore Cognitive Readiness issues and unknowns.

Optimization and enhancement of human performance is challenged by many different factors. These factors include biomedical, sociological, environmental and perceptual factors, such as general health, mental and physical stress, cultural and societal fac tors, heat, cold, altitude, information overload, level of education and training.
