Abstract
For the past few years, some officers and soldiers have remained with the Armed Forces for training purposes and for identifying injuries and deaths caused by accidents. This study constructed a research framework through literature review and expert interviews, and then used the decision laboratory method as the basis for network analysis procedures to determine the key factors for assessing risk factors in the national military fitness assessment. Results showed that there were five main influencing criteria, which included ‘potential risk factors of physical and mental conditions of officers and enlisted personnel’, ‘body monitoring equipment’, ‘medical preparation and knowledge’, ‘first aid equipment’ and ‘hazard prevention equipment’. Among them, “Identifying potential risk factors related to the physical and psychological state of officers and soldiers” can be used to improve other key factors. The research results and analyses will be useful for the establishment of a risk assessment mechanism for the effective prevention of accident risks through the national military fitness assessment in combination with new technological devices and systems.
