Naval Battle Casualty Study

Abstract

The study was carried out from January to June 1968 at the Naval Support Activity Station Hospital, DaNang, Republic of Vietnam. The purpose of the study was to document the injuries sustained, treatment given, and initial results of treatment occurring to the casualties at the DaNang Hospital. A casualty for the purpose of the study was defined as an individual wounded as a direct result of hostile weaponry who had, prior to his arrival at the Hospital, received no definitive medical care. The study includes 2,021 consecutively treated casualties of the United States Armed Forces; other military and civilian personnel treated were excluded from this analysis.
