The centre has three main strands of research: war and health; war and psychiatry; personnel issues and social policy. One of its major projects has been a prospective investigation of the physical and psychological health of a random sample of 20,000 UK service personnel, comparing those who have served in Iraq with those who did not. The centre continues to investigate this cohort, with the addition of a new sample of service personnel who have served in Afghanistan, looking at the physical, social and psychological aspects of military service in the 21st century.
