Medical Surveillance Monthly Report (MSMR). Volume 1, Number 5, August 1995

Abstract

Five cases of heat exhaustion were reported during the first week of July at Fort Bragg, NC. The heat casualties occurred in soldiers who were at the "Green Ramp," attending advanced airborne school pre-jump training and preparation. Personnel were fully suited with rucksack, load bearing equipment, helmet, and parachute. Reportedly, there was no shade, and the casualties were positioned on a dark tarmac, near reflective aircraft. No Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) reading was available, but the weather was sunny, hot, and humid.
