Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Military health service support is an important element of combat service support. The art of health service support, often referred to as military medicine, has a history almost as long as organized warfare. The roles and functions associated with the successful practice of health service support solidified in the early part of the twentieth century. From that base, extensive refinement has occurred. United States' military medical effectiveness during World War II set the standard against which military health service support has been compared for the past fifty years. Inherent to its success was a set of skills, knowledge, and attitudes to produce a clear focus that set priorities to define ways, means, and ends. During the decades of the Cold War, the focused health service support capability which had been fine tuned during World War II became lost in bureaucratic and political fog. The military medical departments gradually shifted focus from the roles, missions, and functions at which they had learned to be successful. Those skills were replaced by a new military medicine culture that adopted new roles in extensive dependent and retiree clinical health care. This redefined mission evolved to be the dominant focus of today's military medical system. The result has been a loss of the culture which enabled and created greatness in United States military medicine fifty years ago.

This book was released on 2024-03-15 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A highly original comprehensive history of US military medicine. Decisions to go to war are often framed in cost-benefit terms, and typically such assessments do not factor in longer term costs. However, recent dramatic improvements in American military medicine have had an unanticipated effect: saving more soldiers' lives has vastly increased long-term, downstream costs of war with profound consequences for global politics in an era of heightened great power competition. In Military Medicine and the Hidden Costs of War, Tanisha M. Fazal traces the modern history of medical treatment and casualty rates in American conflicts from the Civil War to the more recent counterinsurgency wars. As she shows, wars became increasingly survivable for wounded troops, to the point now where a large majority of wounded soldiers survive. Yet the human and financial implications of this steep increase in the wounded-to-killed ratio are dramatic, and her powerful analysis of this shift provides a necessary corrective to how we understand the costs of war. For each major conflict, Fazal analyzes the weapons used, injuries sustained, and policies put in place for veterans' care and pensions. As she argues, these improvements have significant financial and deeply personal implications for the returned wounded and their families, as well as the US government and its citizenry. Fazal's analysis highlights the significance of policymakers underestimating the costs of war, which in turn makes it easier both to initiate and continue military action abroad, contributing to Americas' penchant for engaging in so-called "endless wars." A sweeping political history, Military Medicine and the Hidden Costs of War will fundamentally change our understanding of the lasting consequences of America's wars.
Download or read book Toxicologic Assessment of the Army s Zinc Cadmium Sulfide Dispersion Tests written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1997-05-30 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1950s and 1960s, the U.S. Army conducted atmospheric dispersion tests in many American cities using fluorescent particles of zinc cadmium sulfide (ZnCdS) to develop and verify meteorological models to estimate the dispersal of aerosols. Upon learning of the tests, many citizens and some public health officials in the affected cities raised concerns about the health consequences of the tests. This book assesses the public health effects of the Army's tests, including the toxicity of ZnCdS, the toxicity of surrogate cadmium compounds, the environmental fate of ZnCdS, the extent of public exposures from the dispersion tests, and the risks of such exposures.
