Aggression represents a salient risk factor for suicide among civilians, yet is relatively understudied among military populations. Although several theories posit a relation between aggression and suicide with putative underlying mechanisms of social isolation, access to firearms, and alcohol use, researchers have yet to test these potential mediators. This study uses rich, longitudinal data from the Army Study to Assess Risk and Resilience (STARRS) Pre\/Post Deployment Study (PPDS) to examine whether aggression longitudinally predicts suicide attempts and to identify mediators of this association.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291724002460_sec_a2\" sec-type=\"methods\"><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Army soldiers (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic> = 8483) completed assessments 1 month prior to deployment and 1, 2\u20133, and 9\u201312 months post-deployment.
