This report reviews scientific evidence on how caffeine affects physical endurance, alertness, cognitive performance, and vigilance — especially under conditions of sleep deprivation or high stress typical of military operations. The authors analyze caffeine’s pharmacology, efficacy, safety, and recommend dosage guidelines (100–600 mg) and delivery mechanisms (e.g., chewing gum, bars, beverages) to sustain mental performance during demanding tasks or extended operations. The report provides evidence‑based guidance for military planners, nutritionists, and policymakers considering caffeine as a tool for maintaining operational readiness
