Airlift crews were exposed to extended work periods, reduced sleep periods, night work, and circadian dysrhythmia caused by shift work and time-zone crossings during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. This research reveals the extent to which severe subjective fatigue was experienced by the crews during Operation Desert Storm. In addition, through the evaluation of long-term and short-term work and sleep histories, this research shows that recent sleep and flight histories are correlated with high fatigue levels. Furthermore, we found a tendency for fatigue to correspond with pilot error. We recommend that the training of personnel involved in long-duration operations include fatigue management strategies and, further, that work policies and environments be designed to take into account the importance of regular and restorative sleep when unusual duty hours are required.
在“沙漠盾牌”行动和“沙漠风暴”行动期间，空运机组人员面临工作时间延长、睡眠时间减少、夜间工作以及因轮班工作和跨时区飞行导致的昼夜节律失调。这项研究揭示了在“沙漠风暴”行动期间机组人员所经历的严重主观疲劳程度。此外，通过评估长期和短期的工作与睡眠历史，这项研究表明近期的睡眠和飞行历史与高疲劳水平相关。此外，我们发现疲劳与飞行员失误之间存在关联。我们建议，参与长时间行动的人员培训应包括疲劳管理策略，并且进一步建议，在需要非常规工作时间时，工作政策和环境的设计应考虑到规律和恢复性睡眠的重要性。
