Emerging technologies increasingly accelerate intelligence and decision cycles, yet the officer as human-in-the-loop remains cognitively vulnerable within contested information environments. Artificial intelligence may both mitigate and amplify these vulnerabilities. This article conceptualises Cognitive Resilience as the systematic integration of cognitive control loops into military decision-making. It proposes a training framework—Countering Cognitive Warfare Training (CCW Training 2.0)—designed to operationalise this approach. Built around a fictional scenario, Operation Broken Signal (created by the authors), the framework models leadership under disrupted, distorted, and adversary-shaped information conditions typical of hybrid conflict.
