Contractors working in areas exposed to repeated attacks may develop serious psychological injuries, even if they were not physically harmed during an incident.
Exposure to missile alerts, explosions, and emergency evacuations can lead to long-term mental health conditions.
Under the Defense Base Act, psychological injuries can qualify for compensation if they are connected to a worker’s overseas employment.
These conditions may include: 
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Anxiety disorders
- Depression
- Panic attacks
- Chronic stress or sleep disturbances
For example, a contractor who repeatedly experiences missile alerts while stationed on an airbase may later develop PTSD symptoms after returning home.
