The United States Army Medical Department Journal. July-September 2012
Abstract
This issue was sponsored by COL Mustapha Debboun, the senior medical and veterinary entomologist at the AMEDDC&S and Chairman of the AMEDD Journal Editorial Review Board. For the seventh consecutive year he has organized and assembled an outstanding collection of articles featuring topics related to public health, preventive medicine, and force health protection. Time and again throughout military history, the success or failure of battles, campaigns, and even wars has been determined by the health, and therefore the effectiveness, of a fighting force. There are many examples which demonstrate that it does not matter if a military force has the best training, the finest equipment, and the most capable leadership if the Warriors themselves cannot physically perform their tasks. Indeed, our primary mission at the Army Medical Department begins and ends with the health of the individual Soldier, from his or her first day at basic training until the last day in the Army. Force health protection is the keystone to ensuring that a commander has enough healthy, effective Warriors where and when needed to initiate, sustain, and complete all operations dictated by the unit's mission.
