From the much-referenced and highly acclaimed Textbooks of Military Medicine series, Military Preventive Medicine: Mobilization and Deployment, Volume 1, addresses the medical problems of training and mobilization, including the preparations for deployment, and occupational and environmental issues during sustainment. Topics covered include communicable disease, field sanitation, musculoskeletal injuries, jet lag, sleep deprivation, stress, nutrition, environmental conditions such as heat, cold, and altitude, arthropods, insect-borne diseases, aviation medicine, military diving medicine, chemical, biological, and radiation threats, and much more.

Volume 2 of this important medical textbook is also available from Progressive Management as an e-book.

Military Preventive Medicine: Mobilization and Deployment reflects the evolution of preventive medicine in the military from its traditional focus on field hygiene and infectious disease control to encompassing the wide range of threats and scenarios associated with modern military service. There are many lessons to be learned from the textbook’s emphasis on history and the military relevance of the conditions covered. However, the essence of this volume, like the practice of military preventive medicine, is timeless: our nation’s greatness is reflected in our comprehensive care of those who serve. Preventive medicine of the highest quality is just recognition for their sacrifices and those of their families and communities. It is also a cornerstone to our military readiness.

Force health protection has three corresponding functions: to shape a healthy and fit force, to prevent casualties through proper preparation of personnel, and to respond to casualties when they occur. Preventive Medicine is inherently central to developing a healthy and fit force and in keeping the force healthy through mobilization and deployment—even into the postdeployment phase. This is more critical than ever in light of a shrinking medical footprint and the need to provide immediate casualty care on the modern, rapidly mobile battlefield. Even once casualties occur, Preventive Medicine has an important tertiary prevention role that must be vigorously pursued if service members are to be successfully rehabilitated and avoid having their relatively manageable physical or mental problems evolve into long-term disabilities.

This is a privately authored news service and educational publication of Progressive Management. Our publications synthesize official government information with original material - they are not produced by the federal government. They are designed to provide a convenient user-friendly reference work to uniformly present authoritative knowledge that can be rapidly read, reviewed or searched. Vast archives of important data that might otherwise remain inaccessible are available for instant review no matter where you are. This e-book format makes a great reference work and educational tool.
