Topics include: the history of military medicine, leadership, the management and treatment of trauma and mass casualties in frequently austere field and ship environments; the humane clearing of the battlefield; vaccines and protection against exotic global pathogens—both manmade and naturally occurring; unique psychological stressors of war; biodefense against chemical and nuclear weapons; facilitating return to duty; and the eventual return and reintegration home, of valuable human resource This "first-of-its-kind textbook", offers both authoritative scholarship and the experience of high-level medical officers for the new medical officer within any of the armed services, ranging from medical, surgical, nursing, dental, veterinary, and more. It also provides health education and research for the military health professional(s) deployed to save enlisted military lives and helps to educate medical students with military medical practices and leadership.
