Obsessive-compulsive behavior and anxiety can have a negative impact on the mental health of military personnel. The general objective of this research was to analyze the relationship between the level of obsessive- compulsive behavior and the level of anxiety in military personnel. The methodology implemented in this study had a quantitative approach of correlational type, non-experimental design, cross-sectional, bibliographic modality applied to a population of 152 military personnel between 21 and 62 years old, selected by snowball sampling by convenience, 70% of whom were in active service and 30% in passive service. The Obsessions and Compulsions Inventory-Revised (OCI-R) and the Hamilton anxiety scale were applied. The results showed a significant correlation (Rho=0.721p<0.001) between obsessive-compulsive behavior and anxiety. High and average levels of obsessive-compulsive behavior and anxiety were found in the active and passive duty military personnel in the present study.
