USARIEM: Physiological Research for the Warfighter

Abstract

A significant research effort involving more than 1 million soldiers participants at more than a dozen Army installations explored the relationships between measurable physical characteristics and health and performance outcomes, including physiological assessments, strength and endurance measurements, and disease epidemiology. It also evaluated the impact of rations and coffee on performance and injury in exhausting foot marches. Although this sounds like recent USARIEM studies, these studies were described by Benjamin Apthorp Gould in 1864, based on Union Army Soldiers.
