Book excerpt: "Reflecting the increasing military importance of health and fitness in the recruit population, the Borden Institute has released 'Recruit Medicine', the latest book in the 'Textbooks of Military Medicine' series. Aimed at all those involved in providing care and determining policy for military recruits, this volume covers important aspects of recruit medicine, such as the medical qualifications process; health promotion and environmental risk management; chronic diseases such as asthma; injury prevention and management; communicable illnesses; behavioral, dental, and women's health; and recruit mortality. Recruit medicine combines aspects of epidemiology, preventive medicine, primary care, orthopedics, gynecology, psychiatry, and dentistry. The textbook emphasizes the need for healthcare professionals to clearly understand how these factors affect recruits' ability to perform to standard. 'In times past, military medicine has often underappreciated the value of recruit medicine. The military can no longer afford to do so. Because of the rising costs of entering recruits into the training base, and the requirement that they immediately contribute to the combat effectiveness in their first unit of assignment, military medicine must develop a dynamic approach to the use of our knowledge of recruit medicine. As the accessions process transforms volunteer citizens into soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines, military medicine must help maximize every recruit's chance of attaining military standards in health and fitness. A healthy and fit recruit becomes a healthy and fit soldier, sailor, airman, or marine, ' said Army Surgeon General Lieutenant General Kevin C. Kiley. Colonel Bernard L. DeKoning, MD (MC, US Army) the book's senior editor and Assistant Surgeon General (Force Projection), added, 'Just as the military's center of gravity is the individual soldier, sailor, airman, or marine, the individual's center of gravity is good health. An individual in poor health cannot withstand the rigors of combat or stability operations, nor can he or she properly transform information into action. Our sons and daughters who volunteer to protect the nation deserve the very best in military medicine from the moment they choose to enlist.'"--The publisher.

Download or read book Military Medical Ethics in Contemporary Armed Conflict written by Michael L. Gross and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The goal of military medicine is to conserve the fighting force necessary to prosecute just wars. Just wars are defensive or humanitarian. A defensive war protects one's people or nation. A humanitarian war rescues a foreign, persecuted people or nation from grave human rights abuse. To provide medical care during armed conflict, military medical ethics supplements civilian medical ethics with two principles: military-medical necessity and broad beneficence. Military-medical necessity designates the medical means required to pursue national self-defense or humanitarian intervention. While clinical-medical necessity directs care to satisfy urgent medical needs, military-medical necessity utilizes medical care to satisfy the just aims of war. Military medicine may therefore attend the lightly wounded before the critically wounded or use medical care to win hearts and minds. The underlying principle is broad, not narrow, beneficence. The latter addresses private interests, while broad beneficence responds to the collective welfare of the political community"--
