This book was released on 1988 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the proposition that low-intensity conflict is our most likely form of military involvement in the Third World for the rest of the century, it is vital that we understand what it involves, the situation in our most likely area of involvement, and how we can use our forces in the different mission categories for a successful outcome. Military medicine's role, both in the historical concept of counterinsurgency and in the contemporary low-intensity conflict mission categories, will be outlined. This will come mainly from a research of the literature and the author's experience in Latin America in the 1960's and 1980's. An answer to what is low-intensity conflict, where are we primarily involved, and how can military medicine be of assistance in this type of environment, will be attempted. (sdw).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Military medical personnel and units have participated and will continue to participate in U.S. low intensity conflict (LIC) operations. Previous missions have included care of U.S. personnel, training of host nation medical personnel, disaster medicine during peacetime contingency operations, and, most frequently, medical humanitarian/civic action. U.S. efforts in this area have suffered from the lack of a coherent strategy for using military medicine in LIC. This paper begins with an analysis of the pressures which lead to involvement of military medicine in LIC. The defined ends to which military medicine is directed in LIC are presented followed by the ways in which it contributes to those ends and the means by which operations are conducted. Guidelines for successful military medicine operations in LIC are also detailed. The author proposes a range of new organizations and personnel specialties to strengthen military medicine's contribution to LIC operations and doctrine.

Download or read book U.S. Medical Imperatives for Low Intensity Conflict written by Peter B. Cramblet and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Military imperatives provide a framework for concept and professional development by highlighting key elements or attributes characteristic of successful operations. This paper will endeavor to develop a set of medical imperatives for Low Intensity Conflict (LIC) based on accepted doctrine and recent medical experience. Over the past decade emerging LIC doctrine began to establish parameters within which medical operations would be conducted. Low Intensity Conflict imperatives from FM100-20 coupled with sustainment imperatives from FM 100-5 provide the initial basis from which to develop a consistent and appropriate LIC medical doctrine. Vietnam and more recent medical operations conducted in various low intensity environments to include: Beirut, Honduras, El Salvador, and Panama provide practical experience from which we can evaluate lessons learned and formulate concepts. The result is a set of medical imperatives that include: integration, legitimacy, continuity, responsiveness, medical intelligence, and simplicity. These imperatives are consistent with published military doctrine and tend to characterize key elements of successful medical operations in low intensity conflict.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Most important, there is no evidence that the good will built by U.S. doctors transferred to the South Vietnamese forces, and in fact the opposite may have been true: American programs may have emphasized the inability of the South Vietnamese government to provide basic health care to its own people. Furthermore, the programs may have demonstrated to Vietnamese civilians that foreign soldiers cared more for them than their own troops did. If that is the case, the programs actually did more harm than good in the attempt to win hearts and minds."--BOOK JACKET.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the United States Military medical forces have historically had patient care and medical research as primary responsibilities, they have recently been afforded the opportunity to contribute to our national security by participating in humanitarian or civic action programs or by conducting ventures which lead to training of friendly nations' medical services. The Army Medical Department (AMEDD) has been involved with formal, established programs beginning at the close of World War II, continuing through Korea and Vietnam, and extending to the low intensity conflict ongoing in Central America. In addition, it has participated in a number of ad hoc exercises in various other areas on the globe. It is my contention that, for the most part, substantive benefit was realized to some degree from all of these events. However, some were more effective than others in terms of promoting our national security strategy. This paper will review some military medical endeavors, comment about shortfalls as well as positive points, and offer recommendations for future success.

Book excerpt: Low Intensity Operations is an important, controversial and prophetic book that has had a major influence on the conduct of modern warfare. First published in 1971, it was the result of an academic year Frank Kitson spent at University College, Oxford, under the auspices of the Ministry of Defence, to write a paper on the way in which the army should be prepared to deal with future insurgency and peacekeeping operations. Its findings and propositions are as striking as when the work was first published. 'To understand the nature of revolutionary warfare, one cannot do better than read Low Intensity Operations... The author has had unrivalled experience of such operations in many parts of the world.' Daily Telegraph 'A highly practical analysis of subversion, insurgency and peacekeeping operations... Frank Kitson's book is not merely timely but important.' The Economist

Book excerpt: Cowdrey tells the remarkable story of how American units developed and implemented new technology under dire pressures, succeeding so brilliantly that World War II became the first American war in which more men died in combat than of disease. Penicillin brought the antibiotic revolution to the battlefield, air evacuation plucked the wounded from jungles and deserts, and a unique system brought blood, still fresh from America, to our soldiers all over the world. Surgeons working just behind the front lines stabilized the worst cases, while physicians and public health experts suppressed epidemics and cured exotic diseases. Psychiatrists, nurses and medics all performed heroic feats amidst unspeakable conditions. Together, these men and women improvised medical miracles on the battlefield that could not have been imagined by practitioners in peacetime.

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.
