Book Description
Contingency Operations constitute a diverse array of operations ranging from peacekeeping (e.g., Cyprus), to humanitarian aid (Bosnia- Herzegovina before Dayton Accord), to peace making/enforcement (Somalia, Bosnia- Herzegovina after Dayton Accord), to full scale offensive operations (Persian Gulf War). Military operations other than war (MOOTW) such as relief from the effects of natural disasters and terrorism also constitute Contingency Operations. These operations usually involve the cooperation of multinational Forces, and/or other government and non-government organizations. They may be conducted in hostile environments; often, far from national support bases, in regions as disparate as the mountainous terrain of Bosnia-Herzegovina and the deserts of Somalia and Kuwait. A lack of host nation infrastructures and the uncertain capabilities for interoperability with non-NATO allies pose additional logistical problems. The resolution of these problems will facilitate the effective and rapid NATO response requirements of Contingency Operations. The increasing prevalence of Contingency Operations in NATO presents significant and unique challenges to aircrew health, safety and performance as well as to those responsible for promoting aeromedical Support. Central to these issues is the fact that greater emphasis must be placed on the application of science and technology to enhance aeromedical support. Rapid response times require, not only the efforts of traditional research and development, but, also, real-time initiatives for addressing the novel operational realities of Contingency Operations. Papers were solicited that addressed both traditional and novel technological solutions that meet the needs of aeromedical support in Contingency Operations.

Book Description
This manual is intended for use by all Army crewmembers in meeting requirements set forth in Army Regulation 95-1, Training Circular 1-210, and other appropriate aircrew training manuals. Lessons learned from previous military conflicts and recent contingency operations have caused changes in Army aviation doctrine. With the development of more sophisticated aircraft and weapons systems, Army crewmembers must be capable of operating these systems around the clock, in austere environments, and under adverse conditions. The hazards of stress and fatigue in combat operations and concept of operations will eventually take a toll in aircrew performance and could jeopardize mission accomplishment unless crewmembers are trained to recognize and understand these hazards. Proper training prepares crewmembers and prevents stress and fatigue from reducing mission effectiveness, thereby increasing their chances of survival. Training Circular 3-04.93 provides crewmembers with an understanding of the physiological responses that can occur in the aviation environment. It also describes the effects of the flight environment on individual mission accomplishment. In addition, this publication outlines essential aeromedical training requirements (in Chapter 1) that assist commanders and flight surgeons in conducting aeromedical education for Army crewmembers. Subject areas addressed are by no means all inclusive but are presented to assist crewmembers in increasing performance and efficiency. This publication applies to the Active Army, the Army National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States, and the United States Army Reserve unless otherwise stated.

Book Description
The definitive treatment on the medical evacuation and management of injured patients in both peace- and wartime. Edited by eminent experts in the field, this text brings together medical specialists from all four branches of the armed services. It discusses the history of aeromedical evacuation, triage and staging of the injured patient, evacuation from site of injury to medical facility, air-frame capabilities, medical capabilities in-flight, response to in-flight emergencies, and mass emergency evacuation. Specific medical conditions are addressed in detail, including such general surgical casualties as abdominal wounds and soft tissue, vascular, maxillofacial, head and spinal cord injuries, ophthalmologic, orthopaedic, pediatric, obstetric-gynecologic casualties, burns, and more. Over 80 illustrations provide a review of transport equipment and both medical and surgical treatment. A must-have reference for all armed forced physicians and flight surgeons, for general and trauma surgeons, internists, intensive care specialists, orthopaedic surgeons, and public health service physicians.
