Operational psychology plays a critical role in high-stakes environments such as military, law enforcement, and intelligence operations. However, the competencies required for effective practice in this field are often not well-defined or systematically developed. This paper presents a framework for defining and developing operational psychology competencies, drawing on both theoretical foundations and practical applications. The framework outlines core competencies such as situational awareness, decision-making under pressure, and ethical considerations in operational settings. Through a mixed-methods approach, including expert interviews and case studies, the study identifies key areas of competency and provides guidelines for their development. The findings offer valuable insights for training and evaluating operational psychologists, contributing to the standardization and enhancement of practices in this specialized field.
