Abstract:
Abstract Background Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) skin and soft-tissue infections (SSTIs) are common among military recruits. Identifying which strains are responsible for SSTI and understanding the underlying transmission dynamics is critical to developing appropriate interventions for this high-risk population. Methods A cohort study of US Army Infantry trainees at Fort Benning, GA (June and September 2015). Participants from two training Companies were screened for colonization on multiple anatomic sites throughout the 14-week cycle as well as the time of clinical infection. MRSA+ samples were sequenced with Illumina HiSeq. Multi-locus sequence type (MLST) and virulence genes were identified in silico. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) distances between soldiers’ bacteria were compared with assessing for potential transmission. Results Of 383 soldiers enrolled, 84 (22%) were colonized with MRSA during the study. Forty-two of 84 had a single positive colonization sample, of which 76% were from anatomical sites other than the nares (36% oropharyngeal, 26% perianal, 14% inguinal). Twelve trainees had MRSA SSTI during training (50% had colonization detected prior to or at infection). All were PFGE-type US300 (ST8) and were lukS/lukF-positive. SNP-based phylogenetic analyses and epidemiologic data indicate that most MRSA positives at baseline were due to unique importations from various community origins, suggesting that the ongoing MRSA epidemic is not due to a single endemic strain circulating on base. Following importation, extensive transmission then occurred, with multiple STs implicated. Transmission appeared restricted to within Companies, and predominantly within platoons. Conclusion Frequent colonization at baseline suggests a need for extensive MRSA screening and decolonization upon arrival to base, followed by ongoing infection control measures throughout training to prevent recolonization/infection. As multiple anatomical sites appear to play a role in transmission of MRSA, this may have important implications for screening protocols and control both in community and hospital-based settings.

Abstract:
Abstract Introduction Skin and soft-tissue infections (SSTIs) are an important cause of infectious disease morbidity among military populations. Due to the high direct and indirect costs associated with SSTIs, particularly with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections, there remains a critical need for the development and evaluation of SSTI prevention strategies among high-risk military personnel. Herein, we review efforts of the Infectious Disease Clinical Research Program (IDCRP) related to the prevention of SSTIs in the military. Methods The IDCRP of the Uniformed Services University has conducted clinical research protocols on SSTI epidemiology and prevention among military personnel since 2009. Observational studies have examined the epidemiology of Staphylococcus aureus colonization and SSTI in training and deployment settings. Two randomized controlled trials of personal hygiene strategies for SSTI prevention at Marine Corps Base Quantico (Virginia) and Fort Benning (Georgia) were performed. Lastly, two vaccine trials have been conducted by the IDCRP, including a Phase 2 S. aureus vaccine trial (currently ongoing) among military trainees. Results Military recruits and deployed personnel experience an intense and prolonged exposure to S. aureus, the major causative agent of SSTI. The burden of S. aureus colonization and SSTI is particularly high in military trainees. Hygiene-based trials for S. aureus decolonization among military trainees were not effective in reducing rates of SSTI. In January 2018, the IDCRP initiated a Phase 2 S. aureus vaccine trial among the US Army Infantry training population at Fort Benning. Conclusions In the military, a disproportionate burden of SSTIs is borne by the recruit population. Strategies relying upon routine application of agents for S. aureus decolonization have not been effective in preventing SSTIs. A novel S. aureus vaccine candidate is being currently evaluated in a military training population and may represent a new opportunity to prevent SSTIs for the military.

Abstract:
Context: Musculoskeletal injuries (MSIs) are among the most important challenges facing our military. They influence career success and directly affect military readiness. Several methods of screening initial entry training (IET) soldiers are being tested in an effort to predict which soldiers will sustain an MSI and to develop injury-prevention programs. The Army 1-1-1 Fitness Assessment was examined to determine if it could be used as a screening and MSI prediction mechanism in male IET soldiers. Objective: To determine if a relationship existed among the Army 1-1-1 Fitness Assessment results and MSI, MSI type, and program of instruction (POI) in male IET soldiers. Design: Retrospective cohort study. Setting: Fort Benning, Georgia. Patients or Other Participants: Male Army IET soldiers (N = 1788). Main Outcome Measure(s): The likelihood of sustaining acute and overuse MSI was modelled using separate logistic regression analyses. The POI, run time, push-ups and sit-ups (combined into a single score), and IET soldier age were tested as predictors in a series of linear models. Results: With POI controlled, slower run time, fewer push-ups and sit-ups, and older age were positively correlated with acute MSI; only slower run time was correlated with overuse MSI. For both MSI types, cavalry POIs had a higher risk of acute and overuse MSIs than did basic combat training, armor, or infantry POIs. Conclusions: The 1-1-1 Fitness Assessment predicted both the likelihood of MSI occurrence and type of MSI (acute or overuse). One-mile (1.6-km) run time predicted both overuse and acute MSIs, whereas the combined push-up and sit-up score predicted only acute MSIs. The MSIs varied by type of training (infantry, basic, armor, cavalry), which allowed the development of prediction equations by POI. We determined 1-1-1 Fitness Assessment cutoff scores for each event, thereby allowing the evaluation to be used as an MSI screening mechanism for IET soldiers.

Abstract:
Abstract Background Methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) is a common cause of skin and soft-tissue infection (SSTI). MSSA genomic epidemiology data are limited. We used whole-genome sequencing (WGS) to examine MSSA strain diversity among military trainees, a group known to be at high risk for S. aureus infection and carriage. Methods From July 2012 to December 2014, we conducted a prospective SSTI case–control study among US Army trainees at Fort Benning, GA. Thereafter, we identified MSSA SSTI clusters within select military training classes and performed WGS on clinical and colonizing isolates. We analyzed epidemiologic, clinical, genomic, and phylogenetic data in order to evaluate MSSA strain diversity and patterns of disease transmission. Results A total of 67 SSTI cases from 15 training classes were identified. The median (range) number of cases per class was 4 (3–10). Cases presented for care after a median of 39 (6–101) days of training. Of the 67 cases, 42 (63%) were colonized with MSSA at ≥1 anatomic site. A total of 78 MSSA colonizing isolates were identified at the time trainees presented for clinical care; colonizing isolates were found in the nares (37%), throat (31%), inguinal region (21%), and perianal region (12%). Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) assigned 128 (88%) isolates to 20 known types and 17 isolates to novel types. Among clinical isolates, 60 (90%) were assigned to known types. Sequence Type (ST) 8 was the most frequent type, accounting for 45% and 35% of clinical and colonizing isolates, respectively. The phylogenetic tree of isolates revealed seven major clusters, some of which were composed of a diversity of training classes, specimen types, and STs. These major clusters were further segregated into 15 sub-clusters where there was considerable diversity in intrahost variation. Conclusion Genomic characterization of MSSA infection and colonization isolates among congregate military trainees revealed a broad diversity of strains. There was a clear clonal origin and dissemination of MSSA isolates among close contacts within the ST-8 cluster but this transmission pattern was less apparent for MSSAs from other STs.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Introduction The helmet is an ideal platform to mount technology that gives U.S. Soldiers an advantage over the enemy; the total system is recognized quantitatively as head-supported mass (HSM). The stress placed on the head and neck is magnified by adding mass and increasing the center of mass offset away from the atlanto-occipital complex, the head’s pivot point on the spine. Previous research has focused on HSM-related spinal degeneration and performance decrement in mounted environments. The increased capabilities and protection provided by helmet systems for dismounted Soldiers have made it necessary to determine the boundaries of HSM and center of mass offset unique to dismounted operations. Materials and Methods A human subject volunteer study was conducted to characterize the head and neck exposures and assess the impact of HSM on performance in a simulated field-dismounted operating environment. Data were analyzed from 21 subjects who completed the Load Effects Assessment Program-Army obstacle course at Fort Benning, GA, while wearing three different experimental HSM configurations. Four variable groups (physiologic/biomechanical, performance, kinematic, and subjective) were evaluated as performance assessments. Weight moments (WMs) corresponding to specific performance decrement levels were calculated using the quantitative relationships developed between each metric and the study HSM configurations. Data collected were used to develop the performance decrement HSM threshold criteria based on an average of 10% total performance decrement of dismounted Soldier performance responses. Results A WM of 134 N-cm about the atlanto-occipital complex was determined as the preliminary threshold criteria for an average of 10% total performance decrement. A WM of 164 N-cm was calculated for a corresponding 25% average total performance decrement. Conclusions The presented work is the first of its kind specifically for dismounted Soldiers. Research is underway to validate these limits and develop dismounted injury risk guidance.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Introduction Narcissism has been studied for its role in leadership using various versions of the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI). Narcissism is described as having a “dark and negative” side as well as a “positive or bright” side. The bright side of narcissism, in particular, has been studied for its role in leadership. In studies among military personnel in Finland and Hungary, the NPI has been associated with positive leadership traits. We assessed if measures of narcissistic personality were predictive of entrance to and graduation from the Army Ranger Course among United States (U.S.) Army personnel. Materials and Methods We included the NPI as one of the measures in the Ranger Resilience and Improved Performance on Phospholipid-bound Omega-3’s (RRIPP-3) study. RRIPP-3 was a double-blind, placebo-controlled dietary supplement intervention trial at Fort Benning, GA, that enrolled 555 officers when they entered the U.S. Army Infantry Basic Officer Leadership Course (IBOLC) with the intention to complete the U.S. Ranger School. RRIPP-3 volunteer participants consumed eight dietary supplements daily containing 2.3 g of omega-3 (krill oil) or macadamia nut oil (control) over a 20-week period. Blood spot samples were collected to monitor intake compliance. Cognitive functioning, resilience, and mood were assessed at approximately 14 and 16 weeks. Dietary intake was also assessed. The 40-item, forced-choice NPI was included to assess if three factors of narcissism: Leadership/Authority, Grandiose/Exhibitionism, and Entitlement/Exploitativeness measures of narcissistic personality were associated with entrance to and graduation from the Army Ranger Course. Results Of the 555 soldiers enrolled in RRIPP-3, there were no statistically significant differences in the total NPI scores comparing U.S. Army IBOLC officers who enrolled (n = 225) versus did not enroll (n = 330, p = .649) or graduated (n = 95; versus did not graduate [n = 460, p = .451]) from the Ranger Course. None of the three-factor NPI subscales differed statistically comparing either enrollment in (p = .442, .510, and .589, respectively) or graduation from the Ranger Course (p = .814, .508, and .813, respectively). Conclusions Although narcissism has been positively associated with military trainee success in other countries, we did not find an association between narcissism and trainee success among U.S. Army trainees, and accordingly the level of narcissism did not predict trainee success or failure.

The years following World War I had proven fruitful for Almond. After another teaching stint, Almond completed the Advanced Course at the Infantry School at Fort Benning and remained as an instructor. He taught in the tactics department, using his experience as Machine gun battalion commander during World War I and caught the eye of the Assistant Commandant, Lt. Col. George C. Marshall, a connection that would benefit him later. After earning praise for his teaching skills, Almond then moved to Fort Leavenworth for the two-year Command and General Staff School. He then Manila to command a battalion of Philippine Scouts, where he pioneered a method of crossing a river using only the unit’s organic equipment. Almond was a canny promoter, and his successful exercise gained him a lot of renown n the Army. He performed well in a variety of assignments and his career mirrored that of his contemporaries.

Abstract:
Abstract Reliable performance of energy and water infrastructure is central to the mission readiness of the United States Army. These systems are vulnerable to coordinated attacks from an adversary as well as disruption from natural events. The objectives of this work were to investigate Army installations in North America, identify best practices for improving the resilience and sustainability of critical energy and water infrastructure, and develop a framework and methodology for analyzing the resilience of an installation under varying outage scenarios. This work was accomplished using a multi-layered decision process to identify unique case studies from the 117 active-duty domestic Army installations. A framework for analyzing and assessing the resilience of an installation was then developed to help inform stakeholders. Metered energy and water data from buildings across Fort Benning, GA were curated to inform the modeling framework, including a discrete-event simulation of the supply and demand for energy and water on the installation using ProModel. This simulation was used to study the scale of solutions required to address outage events of varying frequency, duration, and magnitude, the combination of which is described as the severity of outages at a given site. This project helps develop a framework to inform how installations might meet Army Directive 2020-03, which states that installations must be able to sustain mission requirements for a minimum of 14 days after a disruption has occurred.
