Soldiers in Cold Environments (Soldats en environnements froids)

Abstract

A wide range of topics related to the performance of the soldier in the cold have been presented. Key issues that need to be addressed are for the NATO to establish a common protocol for testing clothing on humans and manikins. This protocol must include men over 35 years old and women must also be included. A common protocol must be developed for the treatment of hypothermia and a working group should be funded to revise the survival prediction model in cold air and cold water. Furthermore Bimoclomol and Tyrosine should be considered for use in the treatment and prevention of cold injuries by all NATO medical services; and these medical services need to receive all the data on Non Freezing Cold injury from the RTO.
