While the importance of amultilevel approach in a military context has been recognized, promoting multilevelresilience factors have not yet been identified on a broad level.Objective:Our ongoing study aims to identify multilevel factors fostering psychologicalresilience in the military. By synthesizing the scientific literature, we classify resilience factorsbased on micro, meso and macro levels within the military environment.Method:A systematic review was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines (Shamseeret al., 2015) and is registered in PROSPERO (ID: CRD42021254629). We searched thePubMed, PsycINFO, SCOPUS and Web of Science databases with the criteria peer-reviewjournal article, published since 2000, English or German language, qualitative or quantitativestudy and military sample.Results:The searches identified a total of 3,536 records, of which 2,101 were withoutduplicates. After screening their titles, keywords and abstracts, we assessed 125 full texts.The full text screening yielded 20 studies to be included in the review. The review analyzesquantitative and qualitative studies separately, using thematic analysis (Braun & Clarke,2006) for qualitative data. The results for quantitative and qualitative studies will bepresented with regard to the multilevel definition of resilience.Conclusions:The results will be discussed in terms of their scientific and practical implications.
