Objectives Understand the mission of preventive medicine in the field. Responsibilities Disease non battle injury Importance of Preventive medicine in field

Primary Mission Preserve unit combat effectiveness by providing informed technical information to the Commanding Officer or Officer in Charge concerning preventive medicine: Conducting sanitation and habitability inspections. Advising the command concerning health risks and recommend how to reduce risks. Provide training to personnel in preventive medicine and other related topics.

Responsibilities Unit Commanders are ultimately responsible for overall health and safety of their personnel Preventive medicine responsible for: Identify and eliminate possible health threats Perform outbreak investigations associated with communicable diseases

Responsibilities Preventive medicine responsible for: Conduct sanitary surveys to identify problems and recommend corrective action Provide in-service training to medical and nonmedical personnel concerning relevant preventive medicine topics Compile and provide relevant medical intelligence briefings to the unit commander and to command personnel as appropriate

Responsibilities All personnel must do all they can to preserve their own well being and promote the health of their unit or command by practicing good personal hygiene and following sound camp/field sanitation procedures. Maintain personal hygiene standards

Disease Non Battle Injury Persons who are lost to an organization by reason of disease or injury, and who are not a battle casualty Includes, personnel dying of diseases or injury due to accidents directly related to the operation or mission to which they were deployed

Importance of Preventive Medicine Most important aspect is to be able to reduce Disease Non Battle Injury (DNBI). Ex: Heat and cold injuries can take heavy tolls on the battlefield. During the 1967 Arab-Israeli War, 20,000 deaths due to heat were reported when troops were isolated from their sources of water. Cold injuries caused over 90,000 hospital admissions in WWII.

Types of DNBI Heat and Cold Injuries Heat is the most lethal of all factors working against field forces Cold is incapacitating Arthropods and other animals Food and water borne diseases Noise A constant threat

Review 1.Who is overall responsible for all troops in the field? 2.What are some preventive medicine responsibilities? 3.What are all personnel responsible for? 4.What is DNBI? And types? 5.What is the overall mission of Preventive medicine in field conditions?
