The metrics used to define U.S. Air Force crew rest and flight duty limitations were not designed to manage surge operations such as Operation Desert Shield. Desert Shield provided an opportunity to obtain inflight data on acute and cumulative fatigue and the effect of other stressors during over-the-shoulder observations on 24 C-5 airlift crew members. Findings emphasize how sleep history, recent duty day cycles, subjective fatigue, scheduling patterns, nutrition, and billeting facilities contribute to fatigue and lower levels of alertness. The results of this fairly insignificant observational study attempt to preserve some of the aeromedical lessons of Desert Shield. The flight surgeon authors integrate their experience to outline development of a fatigue management and alertness enhancement doctrine.
用于定义美国空军机组人员休息和飞行任务限制的指标并非为管理诸如“沙漠盾牌行动”这样的激增行动而设计。“沙漠盾牌行动”提供了一个机会，得以在对24名C - 5运输机机组人员进行肩并肩观察期间获取关于急性和累积疲劳以及其他应激源影响的飞行中数据。研究结果强调了睡眠史、近期工作日周期、主观疲劳、排班模式、营养和住宿设施是如何导致疲劳和警觉性降低的。这项相当不起眼的观察性研究的结果试图保留“沙漠盾牌行动”的一些航空医学经验教训。撰写报告的飞行外科医生结合他们的经验，概述了疲劳管理和警觉性增强原则的制定。
