The human gut microbiome plays a vital role in both health and disease states and as a mediator of cognitive and physical performance. Despite major advances in our understanding of the role of gut microbes in host physiology, mechanisms underlying human-microbiome dynamics have yet to be fully elucidated. This knowledge gap represents a major hurdle to the development of targeted gut microbiome solutions influencing human health and performance outcomes. The microbiome as it relates to warfighter health and performance is of interest to the Department of Defense (DoD) with the development of interventions impacting gut microbiome resiliency among its top research priorities. While technological advancements are enabling the development of experimental model systems that facilitate mechanistic insights underpinning human health, disease, and performance, translatability to human outcomes is still questionable. This review discusses some of the drivers influencing the DoD's interest in the warfighter gut microbiome and describes current in vitro gut model systems supporting direct microbial-host interactions.
