| Abstract: | Competing Interests: Declarations. Conflict of Interest: The authors declare no competing interests. Human and Animal Rights and Informed Consent: This article contains results of surveys that were administered to human subjects. All surveys were subjected to ethical review prior to their administration. Disclaimer: The views expressed in this document are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the official policy of the Department of Defense, Department of the Army, U.S. Army Medical Department or the U.S. Government. The mention of any non-federal entity and/or its products is not to be construed or interpreted, in any manner, as federal endorsement of that non-federal entity or its products. Purpose of Review: Members of a technical panel representing Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK, and the US collaborated to develop surveys designed to provide military leaders with information to guide decisions early in the COVID-19 pandemic. The goal of this paper is to provide an overview of this collaboration and a review of findings from the resulting body of work. Recent Findings: While surveys pointed to relatively favorable mental health and perceptions of leadership among military personnel early in the pandemic, these observations did not reflect the experiences of personnel deployed in COVID-19 response operations, nor were these observations reflective of later stages of the pandemic. Establishing and leveraging networks that enable the rapid development of employee surveys and sharing of results can serve as a pathway for empowering military leaders in times of crisis. Organizational support and leadership decisions are especially critical for maintaining well-being among personnel during crises. (© 2024.
