This study comprehensively assesses stress, anxiety, and depression among paratroopers from the 8th Battalion of the Royal Ranger Regiment (Para), based at Kem Terendak, Melaka. A sample size of 371 paratroopers participated in the study. The Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) was employed to gauge the levels of stress, anxiety, and depression experienced by the paratroopers within this unique military context. The study results reveal that paratroopers in the 8th Battalion of the Royal Ranger Regiment (Para) stationed at Terendak Camp exhibit an average level of stress, moderate anxiety, and mild depression. These findings offer valuable insights into the psychological well-being of these military personnel operating in a challenging and demanding environment. The implications of this study are significant. By highlighting the specific levels of stress, anxiety, and depression experienced by the paratroopers, the study contributes to a better understanding of the emotional dynamics within the 8th Battalion. In response to these findings, the study summarizes recommendations to effectively manage and mitigate stress, anxiety, and depression among paratroopers. Ultimately, the study's focus on enhancing mental health and physical well-being aligns with the broader goal of optimizing paratroopers' performance and overall quality of life. By offering insights and actionable recommendations, this study serves as a valuable resource for the Royal Ranger Regiment (Para) and military organizations, fostering an environment that prioritizes the holistic well-being of its personnel.
