Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Since the late 1980s, the US Army has been deploying forward surgical teams to the most intense areas of conflict to care for personnel injured in combat. The forward surgical team is a 20-person medical team that is highly mobile, extremely agile, and has relatively little need of outside support to perform its surgical mission. In order to perform this mission, however, team training and trauma training are required. The large majority of these teams do not routinely train together to provide patient care, and that training currently takes place at the US Army Trauma Training Center (ATTC). The training staff of the ATTC is a specially selected 10-person team made up of active duty personnel from the Army Medical Department assigned to the University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Hospital Ryder Trauma Center in Miami, Florida. The ATTC team of instructors trains as many as 11 forward surgical teams in 2-week rotations per year so that the teams are ready to perform their mission in a deployed setting. Since the first forward surgical team was trained at the ATTC in January 2002, more than 112 forward surgical teams and other similar-sized Department of Defense forward resuscitative and surgical units have rotated through trauma training at the Ryder Trauma Center in preparation for deployment overseas.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Successful Army operations depend on the efficient handling, storage, and flow of materials. Accidents associated with materiel handling activities not only affect the efficiency of an operation but also endanger the lives of Army personnel. In addition, the annual cost to the Army for materiel handling accidents averages approximately $4,315,836. The high incidence and cost of materiel handling accidents poses significant operational problems for the Army. The Army could make great strides in alleviating these operational burdens as well as meeting its safety goals through concerted accident prevention efforts. The U.S. Army Safety Center is making its first attempt to quantify the system problems in the Materiel Handling Major Problem Areas. Improvements in the design of materiel handling equipment and in supervisory practices and training methods may be applicable both to other government agencies and in the private sector.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The article examines the activities of the Beslan training center for pre-conscription and non-military training of railway personnel on the North Caucasian Railway named after S.D. Markov in the 1920s. The basis of the research is the materials extracted from the Central State Archive of North Ossetia-Alania and introduced into scientific circulation for the first time. The author analyzes the features of compulsory military service by pre-conscripts and non-conscripts of railway troops in the conditions of the territorial-militia system of recruitment of the armed forces of the Soviet Union in the interwar period. The article reveals the process of training railway soldiers: training programs and terms, forms and methods of working with personnel. The training programs for pre-conscripts and non-conscripts, which consisted of two main parts: combined arms, mandatory for of the Red Army servicemen and a special railway, are thoroughly investigated. Combined arms training was aimed at the successful acquisition of shooting skills, tactical and drill training, as well as the political education of a fighter, the development of class consciousness and Soviet patriotism. Special railway training included the following sections: track, traction, movement, communications, which corresponded to specific military accounting railway specialties. The author shows that the training of pre-conscripts and non-conscripts had significant differences due to different goals and objectives achieved during the training of these categories of military personnel. Based on the analysis of a large volume of archival material, the author concludes that the Beslan training center, along with personnel railway units, successfully performed the tasks assigned to it for the training of military personnel - pre-conscripts and non-military personnel of railway troops.

Each year, the National Training Center (NTC) located at Fort Irwin, California, hosts multiple Brigade-level rotational units to conduct training exercises. NTC’s Instrumentation Systems (NTC-IS) digitally capture and store characteristics of movement and maneuver, use of fires, and other tactical operations in a vast database. The Army’s Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) recently partnered with Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) to make some of the data available for introductory analysis within a relational database. While this data has the potential to expose capability gaps, uncover the truth behind doctrinal assumptions, and create a sophisticated feedback platform for Army leaders at all levels, it is largely unexplored and underutilized. The purpose of this project is to demonstrate the value of this data by developing a prototype information system that supports post-rotation analytics, playback capabilities, and repeatable workflows that measure and expose ground-truth operational and logistical behavior and performance during a rotation. The Army modeling and analysis community will use these products to systematically curate and archive the database and enable future analysis of the NTC-IS data.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
It has been proposed that the Army needs a high-level training capability for asymmetric missions. Current training programs are focused on conventional warfare and are mainly limited to units that are co-located. Where training capability exists, the scenarios have limited interactivity and fail to address a variety of cross-cultural communication issues that troops encounter in the real world. U.S. Army's Research, Development, and Engineering Command, Simulation, and Training Technology Center in Orlando, Florida, has been conducting an Army Technology Objective (ATO) using massively multi-player (MMP) gaming technology to address these issues. The objective of the ATO is to develop a large-scale, persistent, distributed simulation environment to train soldiers. The research is focused on evaluating the use of MMPs for Army training for operations in asymmetric warfare environments. Weapons of mass destruction, terrorists' actions, crowd and hostage situations, peacekeeping, psychological operations, and civil affairs will be possible interactions faced by the users. OneSAF Objective System computer generated entities will augment the large numbers of real people who will populate the scenarios. The various Armed Forces will be able to engage in such simulation environments anytime, anywhere, using standard personal computers (PCs) connected via the Internet. The paper details research in the formative evaluation of Internet-based training using soldier participants and gaming technologies. Initial test results with the 101st Airborne Division of Fort Campbell, Kentucky, and the Illinois Army National Guard are presented to indicate the potential such technology has to meet new asymmetric training needs and optimize use of soldiers' time while preparing for live training events and actual deployment. The paper also addresses the tools needed to build the training environments and required After Action Review capabilities.

"Risk Factors Associated with Exertional Heat Related Illness in Recruits of Nepal Army during Training Period: A Case Control Study". Nepal Medical Journal 2, n.º 2 (17 de dezembro de 2019): 11–15. http://dx.doi.org/10.37080/nmj.63.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Introduction: Prevention is an important strategy to reduce the incidence of Exertional heat-related illnesses (EHRI) during training. It comprises a group of symptoms that occur in response to heat accumulation in the body caused by exercise or work in a hot and humid environment for a long period of time until the body is unable to regulate its temperature. The aim of the study is to find out associated risk factors and factors contributing EHRI especially in recruits of Nepal Army.
Methods: A case-control study was conducted in recruit training center of Nepal army from June to September of 2017 using a Semi- structured questionnaire after taking ethical approval from IRB. All EHRI cases were included during data collection. The risk factors were analyzed with controls from the same center. 36 cases and 84 controls were taken. We computed the odd ratio (OR), corresponding 95% confidence interval (95% CI), Chi-Square test and Binary Logistic Regression test with SPSS version 20 software.
Results: 85% were wearing army uniform with camouflage vest during the exertional phase of training which was identified as noticeable risk factor with odd ratio (OR) of 13.26 with 95% CI: 5.05 – 34.84 in comparisons to controls. Fear from instructors and seniors in following rules were the protective factors for EHRI (P<0.05).
Conclusions: Wearing camouflouge vests and previous history of EHRI were significant risk factors associated with EHRI during training period. Proper clothing protocol and identifying vulnerable groups by the commanders and trainees may prevent EHRI in future.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has gained support as a single-staged and stand-alone bariatric procedure. Reports of excess weight loss of 35 to 83 per cent, reduction in comorbidities, and decreased operative morbidity have garnered support for LSG. This study represents an initial outcome analysis of LSG performed solely at a military treatment center. This study is a retrospective analysis of all patients receiving LSG at Dwight D. Eisenhower Army Medical Center from September 2007 to December 2009. The patients were planned for a stand-alone procedure. One hundred and fifteen patients received LSG over this time period with a mean body mass index of 45.5 ± 6.2 (range 35.1-58.3). The average age was 47.4 ± 12.5 years. Diabetes mellitus was seen in 47 per cent and 68 per cent of patients had hypertension. The mean and median length of operation was 124 ± 48 and 115.5 minutes. The mean percentage of excess weight loss was 16.6 ± 6.40 per cent at 1 month, 31.5 ± 7.6 per cent at 3 months, 41.2 ± 13.9 per cent at 6 months, and 53.7 ± 12.5 per cent at 1 year from surgery. One or more of patient's preoperative diabetic or hypertensive medications were improved postoperatively in 18.7 per cent and 16.3 per cent, respectively. Incidence of major complications occurred in 4.35 per cent of patients in this study to include four leaks (3.4%), one death (0.87%), and 10 readmissions. Midterm analysis of outcomes related to LSG as a single-stage bariatric procedure is promising as long-term outcome data is collected; the efficacy of this procedure as a sole bariatric procedure will continue to be borne out.

This study uses system dynamics simulation to explore structural and socio-psychological dynamics associated with the United States Army’s gender integration initiatives for its infantry branch. In 2015, the Army’s Training and Doctrine Analysis Center (TRAC) published the “Gender Integration Study” and the “Ranger Assessment Study,” providing findings that helped shape the Army’s gender integration initiatives across its combat arms branches. The focus of these and many other gender integration studies predominantly focus on whether gender differences, physiological and/or psychological, affect one’s ability to meet requisite performance standards in combat arms branches. As an essential complement to the existing and ongoing performance-focused research, system dynamics modeling will provide a basis to assess social barriers that exist with the Army and American culture, inhibiting broad acceptance of women in the infantry.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
A pilot teleradiology project was established for the medical service providers at the Pohakuloa Training Area (PTA) in Hawaii. It connected them with radiologists at Tripler Army Medical Center (TAMC) on the island of Oahu, approximately 400 km away. This involved changing the standard practice of sending soldiers from the PTA to a civilian hospital in Hilo for radiographs. These emergency trips to Hilo, 55 km away, were expensive, manpower intensive, and dangerous due to road and weather conditions. During 51 days of a training exercise involving 2600 personnel, 29 evacuations were avoided, which would have cost $36,569 in total. The expected savings during one year of training were $176,540. The cost of teleradiology during the first year, including the cost of the equipment, was $167,203. Over five years, the costs and savings were estimated to be $349,940 and $882,700, respectively.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Due to the high prevalence and diversity of clinical manifestations, intestinal parasitic infections (IPIs) represent a public health problem. The objective of the work was to determine the prevalence of IPIs among army recruits at a practice and training center in southern Mozambique. Sociodemographic information was obtained through semi-structured interviews. Single urine and stool samples were collected from 362 recruits. Parasite diagnosis was made by filtration, formaldehyde-ether and Kato-Katz techniques. Positive individuals underwent abdominal ultrasound. Then, descriptive statistics and cross-tabulations were performed, and p-values < 0.05 were considered significant. The prevalence of infection with at least one parasite was 25.1% (95% CI: 20.5–29.6; n = 91). The most common parasites were Entamoeba coli (10.7%; 95% CI: 7.4–13.7; n = 37) and Trichuris trichiura (6.1%; 95% CI: 4.6–9.9; n = 25). Parasitic infection was associated with the origin of the participant (p-value < 0.001), and the province of Sofala had the highest prevalence among the provinces studied (70.6%; 95% CI: 47.0–87.8; 12/17). Since oral fecal transmission occurs for several parasites, routine screening and deworming prior to enrollment at the army training center is recommended to reduce transmission of intestinal parasites among recruits.

ABSTRACT Resolving major challenges for health care organizations is a constant challenge. Each military service provides its leaders with superb education and training to lead the constant needs and changes of the mission requirements. The primary trap we leaders may fall into, though, is when we mistake our own expertise and perspectives as the solutions to our organizational challenges. To fully unleash the potential of our people and organizations, we must be deliberate in setting a culture that leverages all the diversity within our organization. At the Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center, Fort Hood, TX, our leadership team initiated an effort to shift the organizational mindset to create this cultural soil. The seeds of our education, training and strategic initiatives then were able to flourish and address our organizational challenges, but only after we addressed our own leadership mindset gap. By establishing and modeling a foundational outward mindset to ensure our team focused on the impact of our actions, we nurtured a culture that was inquisitive, collaborative, and without blame. In doing so, we eliminated negative financial and safety outcomes that threatened our institution and transformed it into a leading Army Medical Center.

Journal of Defense Modeling and Simulation: Applications, Methodology, Technology 14, n.º 4 (9 de maio de 2016): 361–69. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/1548512916646888.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Humeral head intraosseous (HHIO) infusion is the process of injecting fluids directly into the marrow of the humerus, or upper arm bone, to provide a non-collapsible entry point into the circulatory system. This technique provides fluids and medication quickly when intravenous (IV) access is not feasible in emergency situations. As of 2010, Tactical Combat Casualty Care guidelines recommend using intraosseous (IO) infusion in any resuscitation scenario where IV access is not feasible. The US Army Center for Pre-Hospital Medicine (CPHM) provides pre-deployment training to Roles I, II, and III medical providers. In addition, the CPHM provides training for deploying Forward Surgical Teams and en route care via the Critical Care Flight Paramedic Program. The Army’s Program of Instruction currently lacks an adequate simulation-based training model for the HHIO procedure and relies on live tissue training. The US Army Research Laboratory, Human Research and Engineering Directorate, Advanced Training and Simulation Division, developed a capability (i.e., Partial Task Trainer, or PTT) to train this procedure. This study assessed the usability of the PTT device for training on the IO procedure. Specifically, this paper seeks to identify statistically significant differences among the usability ratings of the PTT for paramedics and emergency medicine physicians.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This study investigated how cross-training, particularly in a leadership role, may assist individuals in better understanding the task requirements of their fellow team members, and, thereby, increase their shared situation awareness. Data was collected from a training exercise at the Joint Personnel Recovery Agency. Participants were assigned to one of 4 teams (Navy, Army, Special Ops, or Joint Service) and completed a simulated exercise designed to mimic real life events in a recovery center. Each player was rotated though the various positions and teams such that everyone had a chance to be a team director (lead person) and a team member in each of the 4 teams. Situation awareness was measured during the exercise using the SAGAT technique. Overall, results suggest that cross-training may lead to improved situation awareness. Participants, on average, exhibited greater situation awareness following experience in the director role than prior to director experience.

This article presents the opinions of Pomeranian Academy students about military training organized as a part of the Academic Legion and their subjective view on this training and the perspective of working in the army. In the study, special attention was paid to the strengths and weaknesses of the first edition of the theoretical program carried out at the Pomeranian University and practical carried out at the training center in Ustka. An additional motive for undertaking the study was the exploration of the university environment, especially the attempt to determine the level of preparation of students to perform roles in the army, which allowed to examine the feelings and attitudes of students to the program of the Academic Legion and develop six recommendations for its change. The research problem is the question: How do students evaluate the program of the Academic Legion? Due to the lack of research in this area, no hypothesis was adopted. The research method was a diagnostic survey conducted using a survey technique using the author’s own questionnaire.

BACKGROUND AND AIM Musculoskeletal injuries are common in recruits during basic military training that cause a substantial loss of man power, working days, medical costs for treatment and increase the risk of attrition. The aim of this study was to examine the rate of injurers and associated risk factors among Pakistan Army recruits during military training. METHODOLOGY A cross sectional study was conducted on 370 Army recruits. Non-probability convenience sampling method was used to enroll male military recruits with age of 18 years or more undergoing training in air defense center. A self-administered tool was used as study questionnaire, adapted from previously reported literature. Data collection on the questionnaire included age, weight/height, smoking status, prior physical activity, prior injuries and occurrence of injury during training. RESULTS The rate occurrence of injury or fracture per recruit during the training was found to be 90/370 (24.3%). Univariate analysis between incidence of injury and the demographic variables included in the study shows that occurrence of injury/fracture was significantly associated with age, BMI, smoking status, history of prior injury and recovery from prior injury. CONCLUSION Rehabilitation efforts on the basis of increased knowledge related to the risk factors and also the injury mechanism should be made to prevent further from injuries.

Objective: To document the additional competencies that a well-trained pharmacy technician, with no previous oncology pharmacy training or experience, needs to practice effectively in an oncology pharmacy; and to develop a form to document the training of oncology pharmacy technicians at our institution. Design: From September 1, 1997, to November 1, 1997, the oncology pharmacist and the oncology pharmacy technicians developed a list of pharmacy technician competencies that were believed to be unique to pharmacy technician practice in an oncology pharmacy. Information from MEDLINE searches, drug manufacturer materials, and reference books was used to support the competencies identified. Setting: This project was conducted at Brooke Army Medical Center, a 450-bed teaching and research institution of the US Army Medical Department. Results: Twenty-five oncology pharmacy technician competencies were documented. This list was made into a form for inclusion in each oncology pharmacy technician's competency-based assessment folder and for use in training of future oncology pharmacy technicians. Conclusions: There are a significant number of additional competencies that a well-trained pharmacy technician needs in order to practice effectively in our institution's oncology pharmacy. The identification of these additional competencies facilitated the development of a form to document the training of oncology pharmacy technicians.

ABSTRACT Introduction The Cohesion Assessment Team (CAT) provides battalion and brigade command teams with actionable insight into the climate of their unit and the presence of certain harmful behaviors. This assessment, initiated by the Vice Chief of Staff of the Army and initially managed by the Headquarters Department of the Army’s People First Task Force, employs a framework from the Center for Army Professional Leadership to structure data and findings. Materials and Methods This manuscript describes how to conduct a CAT assessment. To start, two battalions within the same brigade are selected or volunteer for observation based on various metrics. Data are collected from multiple sources including (1) army metrics, such as promotion rates and Uniformed Code of Military Justice actions, (2) subject matter expert in-person observations and interactions, (3) discussions with battalion and brigade staff, (4) survey data from approximately 90% of the soldiers in participating units, and (5) targeted interviews, focus groups, and listening sessions. Onsite data are collected and synthesized with the survey results within a week. Results are presented to battalion and brigade command teams. Briefs highlight key elements of the unit climate that should be maintained or improved. In addition, summarized results are presented to progressively higher echelons of leadership, culminating with the Vice Chief of Staff of the Army for consideration of army-wide changes. Results and Conclusions The CAT focuses on providing leaders at brigade and below with relevant and actionable information to help inform their internal decision-making to improve their unit’s climate. This capability is distinct in many ways, including its non-attributional systems focus and its methodical approach to quickly collecting and triangulating multiple data points. Additionally, the CAT helps leaders identify areas under their control that will impact unit climate, similar to the feedback that training events provide on unit readiness. Army leadership deemed the CAT pilot a success, and responsibility for future CATs was transferred to the Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) in October 2022.

Abstract Introduction It is critical the U.S. Army retains skilled physicians in the Medical Corps (MC) to ensure direct support to military operations and medical readiness. The purpose of this study was to examine U.S. Army physicians’ opinions concerning: readiness to perform required duties, work environment, support and recognition they receive, military career intentions, and how these factors may relate to Army physician job satisfaction. Materials and Methods A cross-sectional study of Army physicians was conducted using a 45-item web-based survey tool, “Army Medicine Medical Corps (MC) Engagement/Satisfaction Survey 2018.” The survey used a combination of multiple choice (Likert-scaled and categorical) and open text statements and questions. Satisfaction with their Army physician career was measured using a 5-point unipolar Likert scale response on level of satisfaction. Chi-square tests of independence were conducted on all demographic characteristics to examine if levels of satisfaction with Army physician career were associated with a particular demographic profile. Agreement opinions expressed on 20 statements about professional readiness, work environment, and job recognition were summarized and rank-ordered by percentage of “strongly agree” responses. Categorical responses to several questions related to career intentions were summarized overall and by career satisfaction level. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to identify demographic factors, which may influence career satisfaction as an Army physician. Results Approximately 47% (2,050/4,334) of U.S. Army physicians participated in the MC 2018 survey. Career satisfaction percentages overall were: “extremely satisfied” (10.0%), “quite satisfied” (24.8%), “moderately satisfied” (33.9%), “slightly satisfied” (22.6%), and “not at all satisfied” (8.3%). Respondents were in least agreement to statements about sufficient administrative support and recognition of doing good work. Logistic regression results showed military rank as a significant predictor of negative career satisfaction as an Army physician. For Captains, the odds for being “not at all satisfied” with their military career were almost nine times that of Colonels. Also, compared to their baseline group, physicians who completed their graduate medical education training, mission critical surgeons, and physicians who worked in military treatment facilities that were either a hospital (not a medical center) or a clinic-ambulatory surgery center had a greater risk of being “not at all satisfied” with their career as an Army physician. Conclusions There is significant room for improvement in MC officer career satisfaction. The drivers of satisfaction are multiple and apply differently among MC officers of varied ranks and experience. Senior officers are the ones who are the most satisfied with their military career. Results of this novel MC officer study may serve as an impetus to identify existing shortcomings and make necessary changes to retain skilled Army physicians. Army leaders should invest resources to develop and sustain initiatives that improve military career satisfaction and retention of MC officers.

As data production, collection, and analytic techniques grow, emerging issues surrounding data management and storage challenge businesses and organizations around the globe. The US Army Training and Doctrine Command’s Analysis Center (TRAC) is no exception. For example, among TRAC's many tasks is the evaluation of new materiel solutions for the Army, which typically necessitates the use of computer simulation models such as COMBAT XXI. These models are computationally expensive, and they generate copious amounts of data, straining TRAC's current resources and forcing difficult, suboptimal decisions regarding data retention and analysis. This paper addresses this issue directly by developing "big data" solutions for TRAC and evaluating them using its organizational values. Framed in the context of a use case that prescribes system requirements, we leverage Monte Carlo simulation to account for inherent uncertainty and, ultimately, focus TRAC on several high potential alternatives.

This symposium is a follow-up to a sumposium held at last year's HFS meeting. “Training Technology in the 1990s: Development, Application and Research Issues.” Representatives from the three military services discussed how many facets of training technology would affect current and future design applications and research issues relevant to military training systems. Two topics from that session (artificial intelligence and embedded training) and one other topic (computer-based authoring of technical information) have beer selected for in-depth discussion. Each technology is computer-based and has been exploited to only a limited degree. The object of this symposium is to provide a focus for describing how the three technologies are important for emerging and future training systems. For example, nearly all technical information (TI) for maintaining and operating weapon systems in the field is currently paper-based but the Department of Defense is committed to transitioning to electronic delivery of TI within the next decade. Many R&D issues must be resolved in the interim. Similarly, the technologies of embedded training and artificial intelligence have considerable potential for future training systems once a number of R&D issues are successfully addressed. All three services have on-going research and development programs for the technologies covered in this sumposium. Each topic is presented by representatives from at least two military behavioral laboratories: for computer-based authoring, Naval Training Systems Center (NTSC), Naval Personnel Research and Development Center (NPRDC) and Army Research Institute (ARI); for artificial intelligence, Air Force Human Resources Laboratory (AFHRL) and NTSC; and for embedded training, NTSC and ARI. The goals of the symposium are: (1) to make clearer the most pressing R&D issues associated with these technologies, and (2) to discuss how future training systems might incorporate them.

A field study was conducted at the US Army Aviation Center to determine whether workload-coping and attention-management skills developed through structured video game experience would generalize to flight training. Three groups of 24 trainees were compared: (1) One received 10 hours of training on an IBM-PC version of Space Fortress, replicating an earlier study; (2) The second played a commerical video game (Apache Strike) for 10 hours which also required tracking, monitoring, situation assessment, and memory; (3) The third matched group receive no game training. Flight school records were monitored during the next 18 mos to compare performance of the three groups during initial flight training. Check ride ratings began to show an advantage for the group trained with Space Fortress by the Instrument stage of training, as predicted. Furthermore, attrition rates were lower for this group, replicating the results of an earlier study conducted by Gopher (1990) in the Israeli Air Force Flight School.

Abstract Over the past 15 years of conflict, eye injuries have ocurred at a steady rate of 5–10% of combat casualties, attributed to the enemy’s use of improvised explosive devices. Many of these injuries result in a compartment syndrome of the orbit, easily decompressed through the use of a simple procedure called a Lateral Canthotomy and Cantholysis (LCC). Current training curricula at the U.S. Army Center for Pre-Hospital Medicine at Fort Sam Houston, Texas incorporates LCC training presented in lectures and taught using cadavers and goats (resources permitting), but lacks a LCC training device for the development of psychomotor skills. Requirements analysis, iterative design and development, and testing were performed for a simulation-based training system that may be used to practice the LCC procedure. Subject matter experts have conducted numerous reviews of the prototype system, where feedback is used to drive subsequent designs. Further work, including formal analysis of training effectiveness, will be performed to validate the training system. This will benefit will benefit military and civilian training programs by training psychomotor skills to enhance competency in the LCC procedure for preserving eyesight.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
In the military-territorial organization of Yugoslavia after the Second World War, Banja Luka was a part of the 6th Army, whose headquarters were in Sarajevo. In the beginning of 1948, from the former 6th Army, the 7th Military District was formed. The military area of Banja Luka was supposed to be the 5th Corps during the war. In 1983, 58 Yugoslav People's Army war units and 21 Territorial Defense war units were manned by conscripts and material and technical means from the territory of the Banja Luka municipality. As of 1990, the data on 50,624 conscripts in the municipality of Banja Luka were kept. A total of 4,568 conscripts or 2.28% of the total population of the municipality were engaged in all units of the Territorial Defense. For the needs of building the military infrastructure, the Roman Catholic monastery "Nazareth" was nationalized, and in several waves, thousands of Serbian peasants were evicted from the hilly and mountainous area of Manjaca. With the implementation of repressive measures, a wide area whose population belonged to the royalist movement during the Second World War was evicted, and the Yugoslav People's Army military training ground was built on it. Due to a combination of historical circumstances, Banja Luka has become an important center of military education. After the Resolution of the Inform Bureau, in September 1948, the Tank School Center (TSC) was moved from Bela Crkva in Banat, due to the proximity of the Romanian border, to Banja Luka. Over time, this institution developed into the Armored and Mechanized Units School Center "Petar Drapšin". Near Banja Luka, a significant demonstration exercise was performed as a part of the visit of the high US military delegation to Yugoslavia, which began in October 1951. During 1952, representatives of the US military mission visited two tank brigades and the Tank Officer School in Banja Luka. The Army played an important role in modernizing the undeveloped areas of the country, including the wider Banja Luka region, the Bosnian Krajina. Bosnia and Herzegovina benefited significantly from the establishment of the military industry in this republic, which was given strategic importance, due to the expected invasion from the East after 1948. A significant role in the military industry was played by the Aviation Institute 'Cosmos', which has been operating in Banja Luka since 1958. Most of the infrastructure and combat assets of the Fifth Corps of the YPA from Banja Luka were inherited by the First Krajina Corps of the Army of the Republic of Srpska, as the largest corps of the ARS, that played a key role in the defense of the Republic of Srpska during the civil war in the former SR Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Abstract Introduction Chlamydia pneumoniae (Cp) is a bacterium that causes pneumonia and other respiratory diseases. Fever may be present early but absent by time of presentation to clinic. Increases in X-ray-confirmed pneumonia (XCP) and laboratory-confirmed Cp infections were observed in new soldiers in training at Fort Leonard Wood (FLW), Missouri, early in 2014. These findings prompted a site assistance visit from the U.S. Army Public Health Command, Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, with a review of available data and information to describe the outbreak, and inspections of barracks and training facilities and review of training practices to identify opportunities for interventions to reduce the risk of respiratory disease agent transmission. Materials and Methods The study population was trainee soldiers at FLW in 2013–2014. Data from two acute respiratory disease surveillance systems were studied. A local surveillance system operated by the FLW General Leonard Wood Army Community Hospital Preventive Medicine Department tracked weekly chest X-rays taken and the numbers positive for pneumonia. A Naval Health Research Center, San Diego, California, laboratory-based Febrile Respiratory Illness Surveillance Program collected clinical data and nasal, or nasal and pharyngeal swabs, for nucleic acid amplification testing from up to 15 trainees/week with fever and either cough or sore throat. Up to 4 of the 15 specimens could be from afebrile patients with XCP. Specimens were tested for a variety of agents. Results Monthly rates of XCP rose quickly in 2014 and peaked at 0.9/100 trainees in May. The percentage of the San Diego surveillance system specimens that were positive for Cp also increased quickly in 2014, peaking at 54% in May. During the first half of 2014, the San Diego program studied specimens from 141 ill trainees; 37% (52/141) were positive for Cp, making it the most common organism identified, followed by rhinoviruses (8%), influenza viruses (4%), Mycoplasma pneumoniae (2%), and adenoviruses (1%). The remaining specimens (48%) were negative for all respiratory pathogens. Only 12% (6/52) of Cp positive patients were febrile. Facilities inspections and review of training practices failed to identify variables that might be contributing to an increased risk of respiratory agent transmission. Conclusion The XCP rate and the percentage of specimens positive for Cp increased in early 2014, peaking in May. Only 12% of trainees with laboratory-confirmed Cp were febrile. Historically, acute respiratory disease surveillance at military training centers focused on febrile diseases, particularly those caused by adenoviruses. With introduction of an adenovirus vaccine in late 2011, respiratory disease rates dropped with only sporadic occurrences of adenovirus-associated disease. In 2012, the San Diego surveillance program began providing data on multiple respiratory disease agents, in addition to adenoviruses and influenza viruses. Since then, Cp, rhinoviruses and Mycoplasma pneumoniae have frequently been detected in trainees with acute respiratory disease. Respiratory surveillance programs supporting Army training centers should be re-evaluated in this post-adenovirus vaccine era, to include assessment of the fever criterion for selecting patients for study, the value of chest X-ray surveillance and the value of rapidly providing laboratory results to inform provider decisions regarding antibiotic use.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Military operations often require Service Members (SMs) to make life-and-death decisions based on information they can only obtain auditorily. However, the wide variety of critical sounds, essential spoken messages, and masking environments encountered while performing military missions makes it difficult to use clinical tests to predict the operational performance of hearing-impaired SMs. In this study, ≈2400 SMs performed listening tasks derived from binaural recordings made during realistic battlefield exercises at the US Army Joint Readiness Training Center. The listening tasks included standardized speech recognition tasks based on the Oldenburg Matrix Test and Modified Rhyme Test (MRT), as well as scenario-based multiple-choice tasks where questions were asked about unmodified verbal exchanges that occurred between SMs engaged in the battlefield simulation. The scores SMs achieved on these operational tasks were then compared to their hearing thresholds and to their scores on the MRT80. The results show that an auditory fitness-for-duty standard that requires individuals with thresholds that exceed the values defined in the new US Army H3 Profile to obtain a minimum score on the MRT80 is generally able to identify individuals who are most at risk of performing abnormally poorly on militarily relevant listening tasks.

Objective. To summarize the experiences of the U.S. Army regarding prevention and control, and frequencies, rates, trends, and determinants of febrile acute respiratory diseases (ARDs), particularly Group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus (GABHS). Methodology. Since 1966, the U.S. Army has conducted routine surveillance of ARDs among basic trainees. Since 1985, all trainees with fever and respiratory tract symptoms have been cultured for GABHS. Field investigations were conducted when outbreaks of acute respiratory or GABHS-associated illnesses were detected. Mass plus tandem benzathine penicillin prophylaxis were used to interdict and control training center GABHS outbreaks. Results. During the period 1985 to 1994, there were 65 184 hospitalizations for acute febrile respiratory illnesses among Army trainees. The crude hospitalization rate was 0.45 per 100 trainees per week. The rate consistently declined over the period. Incremental dedines were temporally associated with increased use of adenovirus immunizations and broader use of benzathine penicillin prophylaxis. During the period, 10 789 of 59 818 (18%) pharyngeal cultures were positive for GABHS. GABHS outbreaks were associated with diverse clinical manifestations including streptococcal toxic shock, acute rheumatic fever, and pneumonia. The emergence of mucoid colony morphology in clinical isolates was a consistent indicator of circulating virulent strains with epidemic potential. Outbreak-associated M types were M1, M3, M5, and M18. In response to six GABHS outbreaks, mass plus tandem benzathine penicillin chemoprophylaxis produced rapid and sustained GABHS control. ARD and GABHS recovery rates were lowest when benzathine penicillin prophylaxis was widely used. Conclusions. ARD rates among Army trainees have consistently declined to unprecedented levels. GABHS has reemerged as an important threat to military trainees.

BackgroundThe Army Medical Department (AMEDD) Military-Civilian Trauma Team Training (AMCT3) Program was developed to enhance the trauma competency and capability of the medical force by embedding providers at busy civilian trauma centers. Few reports have been published on the outcomes of this program since its implementation.MethodsThe medical and billing records for the two AMCT3 embedded trauma surgeons at the single medical center were retrospectively reviewed for care provided during August 2021 through July 2022. Abstracted data included tasks met under the Army’s Individual Critical Task List (ICTL) for general surgeons. The Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities (KSA) score was estimated based on previously reported point values for procedures. To assess for successful integration of the embedded surgeons, data were also abstracted for two newly hired civilian trauma surgeons.ResultsThe annual clinical activity for the first AMCT3 surgeon included 444 trauma evaluations and 185 operative cases. The operative cases included 80 laparotomies, 15 thoracotomies, and 15 vascular exposures. The operative volume resulted in a KSA score of 21 998 points. The annual clinical activity for the second AMCT3 surgeon included 424 trauma evaluations and 194 operative cases. The operative cases included 92 laparotomies, 8 thoracotomies, and 25 vascular exposures. The operative volume resulted in a KSA score of 22 799 points. The first civilian surgeon’s annual clinical activity included 453 trauma evaluations and 151 operative cases, resulting in a KSA score of 16 738 points. The second civilian surgeon’s annual clinical activity included 206 trauma evaluations and 96 operative cases, resulting in a KSA score of 11 156 points.ConclusionThe AMCT3 partnership at this single center greatly exceeds the minimum deployment readiness metrics established in the ICTLs and KSAs for deploying general surgeons. The AMEDD experience provided a deployment-relevant case mix with an emphasis on complex vascular injury repairs.

The King Abdullah II Special Operations Training Center (KASOTC) was financed and established by the US Department of Defense, is operated by a US private business, and is owned by the Jordanian army. It not only offers a base for the training of international Special Forces and Jordanian border guards, but also for military adventure holidays, corporate leadership programs, and stunt training for actors. This article provides an analysis of the processes and technologies involved in US–Jordanian military collaboration by investigating some of the ways in which war is simulated, marketed, and played at KASOTC. Particular focus is paid to the stark biopolitical judgments about the different worth of human subjects and their role in intersecting processes of militarization and commercialization. The article argues that US–Jordanian military collaboration at KASOTC is marked by the simultaneous blurring and reinforcement of boundaries, as commercial security is moralized and imagined moral hierarchies marketized. While war at KASOTC is an interactive and consumable event for some, it engenders deadly realities for others. The article is an empirically-grounded contribution to critical security studies based on interviews and observations made during a visit to KASOTC in early 2013.

Abstract Introduction Polytrauma, to include major limb amputation, in a military population presents unique rehabilitation challenges with the overarching goal of restoring function leading to the primary question, “Is this Service Member (SM) capable of returning to duty following rehabilitation?” The US military has a vested interest in maximizing injured SMs occupational performance to allow for return to duty. The purpose of this report is to describe marksmanship (shot grouping and weapon qualification) and return to duty outcomes following a course of VRE-based firearm training in a polytrauma patient population. Methods The medical records, stored in the Armed Forces Health Longitudinal Technology Application (AHLTA), of all patients who received rehabilitative care at the Center for the Intrepid (CFI) to include VRE-based firearms training between 01OCT2015 and 01AUG2016 were manually reviewed for inclusion. Subjects included all adult (18 years and older) SMs (active duty at time of admission) with a diagnosis of polytrauma who had been referred to and treated (received additional services such as physical and or occupational therapy) at the CFI. Approval for this research was received from the Brooke Army Medical Center Department of Clinical Investigation Office of the Institutional Review Board. Results Medical records of 30 SMs with a polytrauma diagnosis met the inclusion criteria. Mean shot group sizes for the M9 and M4 weapon decreased between initial and post training time points for the M9 zero (p = 0.009) and M4 zero (p = 0.020). There was no significant difference between initial and post training time points at the other shooting distances with either weapon. There was an 89% qualification rate for both the M9 (n = 18) and M4 (n = 19) weapons for those who attempted qualification; 43% of the population (n = 13) did not attempt qualification with either weapon. Conclusion SMs with polytrauma demonstrated a high rate of weapon qualification (accuracy) following VRE-based firearm training. Shot group size (precision) at short distances with a M9 pistol and M4 rifle also improved with training. While overall marksmanship appeared to improve, high return to duty rates were not directly related to firearm training or marksmanship. Future efforts need to focus on consistent clinical documentation of firearm training procedure and the establishment of psychometric properties for marksmanship outcome measures.

Abstract Introduction The French army has implemented an algorithm based on the acronym “MARCHE RYAN,” each letter standing for a key action to complete in order to help first care providers during emergency casualty care. On the battlefield, the risk of error is increased, and the use of cognitive aids (CAs) might be helpful to avoid distraction. We investigated the effect of using a digital CA (MAX, for Medical Assistance eXpert) by combat casualty care providers on their technical and nontechnical performances during the early management of simulated war wounds, compared to their memory and training alone. Materials and Methods We conducted a randomized, controlled, unblinded study between July 2016 and February 2017. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Ethical Board of Desgenettes Army Training Hospital (14.06.2017 n°385) and was registered on clinicaltrials.gov (NCT03483727). It took place during medicalization training in hostile environment (“MEDICHOS”) in Chamonix Mont-Blanc and in the first aid training center in La Valbonne military base (France). Each participant had to deal with two different scenarios, one with MAX (MAX+) and the other without (MAX−). Scenarios were held using either high-fidelity patient simulators or actors as wounded patients. The primary outcome was participants’ technical performance rated as their adherence to the MARCHE RYAN procedure (maximum 100%). The secondary outcome was the nontechnical performance according to the Ottawa crisis resource management Global Rating Scale (maximum 42). Results Technical performance was significantly higher in the MAX+ scenarios (70.60 IQR [63.70–73.56] than in the MAX− scenarios (56.25 IQR [52.88–62.09], p = 0.002). The Ottawa scores were significantly higher in the MAX+ scenarios (31.50 IQR [29.50–33.75]) than in the MAX− scenarios (29.50 IQR [24.50–32.00], p = 0.031). Conclusions The use of a digital CA by combat casualty care providers improved technical and nontechnical performances during field training of simulated crises. Following recommendations on the design and use of CA, regular team training would improve fluidity in the use and acceptance of an aid, by a highly drilled professional corporation with a strong culture of leadership. Digital CA should be tested at a larger scale in order to validate their contribution to real combat casualty care.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The expediency of interaction of the educational organization with the military units of the region in the process of military-patriotic education and pre-conscription training of young people for service in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is substantiated. As an example, we consider the experience of the Derzhavin Tambov State University in the field of military-patriotic work with youth both at the university and in the region. We analyze the features and results of the work of the regional branch of the All-Russian military-patriotic movement “Young Army”, the regional center for pre-conscription training of youth and military-patriotic education, operating on the basis of the university; the federal project being implemented jointly with the mil-itary units of the Tambov garrison to create in the region military-patriotic centers “Avangard”, organize regional stages of the All-Russian military-patriotic games “Zarnitsa”, “Eaglet”, “Victo-ry”. The author’s position is that the active participation of an educational institution in military-patriotic education and pre-conscription training of students of the university and the region in co-operation with the military units of the Tambov territorial garrison will allow not only to more ef-fectively solve the problems of educating a citizen, patriot, defender of the Fatherland, but also to become non-traditional potential “growth point” of the university. The directions and mechanisms of interaction between the university and the military units of the Tambov garrison are described, the results of interaction in the field of military-patriotic education of students in the region are as-sessed.

Abstract Introduction Brooke Army Medical Center (BAMC), the largest military hospital and the only level 1 trauma center in the DoD, cares for active duty, retired uniformed services personnel, and beneficiaries. In addition, BAMC works in collaboration with the Southwest Texas Regional Advisory Council (STRAC) and University Hospital (UH), San Antonio’s other level 1 trauma center, to provide trauma care to residents of the city and 22 counties in southwest Texas from San Antonio to Mexico (26,000 square mile area). Civilian-military partnerships are shown to benefit the training of military medical personnel; however, to date, there are no published reports specific to military personnel experiences within emergency care. The purpose of the current study was to describe and compare the emergency department trauma patient populations of two level 1 trauma centers in one metropolitan city (BAMC and UH) as well as determine if DoD level 1 trauma cases were representative of patients treated in OEF/OIF emergency department settings. Materials and Methods We obtained a nonhuman subjects research determination for de-identified data from the US Air Force 59th Medical Wing and the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio Institutional Review Boards. Data on emergency department patients treated between the years 2015 and 2017 were obtained from the two level 1 trauma centers (BAMC and UH, located in San Antonio, Texas); data included injury descriptors, ICU and hospital days, and department procedures. Results Two-proportion Z-tests indicated that trauma patients were similar across trauma centers on injury type, injury severity, and discharge status; yet trauma patients differed significantly in terms of mechanism of injury and regions of injury. BAMC received significantly greater proportions of patients injured from falls, firearms and with facial and head injuries than UH, which received significantly greater proportion of patients with thorax and abdominal injuries. In addition, a significantly greater proportion of patients spent more than 2 days in the ICU and greater than two total hospital days at BAMC than in UH. In comparison to military emergency departments in combat zones, BAMC had significantly lower rates of blood product administration and endotracheal intubations. Conclusions The trauma patients treated at a military level 1 trauma center were similar to those treated in the civilian level 1 trauma center in the same city, indicating the effectiveness of the only DoD Level 1 trauma center to provide experience comparable to that provided in civilian trauma centers. However, further research is needed to determine if the exposure rates to specific procedures are adequate to meet predeployment readiness requirements.

The study considers the issue of saving the tradition of Ukrainian statehood in emigration, which is essential and challenging in modern historiography. It is noted that the contribution of individuals to the organization of emigrant life, preservation of national culture and identity remains poorly investigated, despite the considerable interest of researchers in its institutional level – the activities of Ukrainian political, public and cultural organizations and societies. At the personal level, on the example of Volodymyr Salskyi, the contribution to the cause of the organization of Ukrainian military emigrants' life was investigated. The basic directions of V. Salskyi's activity regarding preserving the wholeness, structure and combat capability of the UNR's Army, improving the material and living conditions of the former military, increasing their educational level, professional skills (through the organization of various military training courses and training of former UNR officers), as well as supporting the patriotic spirit were analyzed. The strategy and practical steps of V. Salskyi as the Minister of Military Affairs in exile for providing activities of emigrant political and public structures in various foreign centers such as Poland, Czechoslovakia, France, and Bulgaria are presented. In particular, the focus is on personnel policy, the creation of a human intelligence network that not only carried out intelligence assessment in the region but also tried to consolidate Ukrainians, organized their national and cultural life in new places.

During the Great War, the Commission for Training Camp Activities (CTCA) pioneered a program in which civilian song leaders were assigned to camps throughout the United States. These men (and a few women) were instructed to organize regular community singing, train officers as song leaders, and cultivate musical talent among the soldiers. They also worked as song leaders in nearby towns and cities, an activity that was intended to improve military–civilian relations and promote patriotism. This article examines the career of Warren Kimsey, the first song leader assigned to Camp Gordon, an army training camp located near the city of Atlanta. Kimsey organized community singing both in the camp and in Atlanta, where he led enormous crowds in the newly constructed Auditorium–Armory. This study presents Kimsey’s work as a product of the nationwide community singing movement and its progressive political agenda, while at the same time contextualizing it in Atlanta’s identity as an emerging cultural center. It also identifies Kimsey’s contributions to music education in Georgia and discusses the broader influence of wartime song leaders on community music initiatives throughout the country.

This study aims to describe the influence of the Japanese occupation on military developments in South Sumatra in 1942-1947. The method used in this research is historical research (historical). The steps used include: Heuristics, Source Criticism, Interpretation, and Historiography. The results showed that during the Japanese occupation of Indonesia, South Sumatra was used as a core area by the Japanese in the economic field. In addition, the youths were made as volunteer soldiers (Gyugun) by the Japanese who aimed to assist the Japanese army in defending the occupied area from Allied counterattacks. After the Japanese occupation ended and left South Sumatra, the former volunteer soldiers (Gyugun) who had been formed by the Japanese occupied important positions during the struggle for independence, which later became the pioneers of the establishment of BKR/TKR in South Sumatra. The conclusion of this study is that Japan formed a Gyugun training center, by providing doctrine and training with a Japanese military model that was both physically and mentally tough in order to become a Bushido soldier to help fight Japan against its allies.

Motivation Differentially Mediates the Effect of Hardiness on Depressive Symptoms in Chinese Military Personnel".

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Objective. To investigate the mediation effect of approach/avoidance motivation between hardiness and depressive symptoms. Methods. Cross-sectional design was utilized. Two independent samples of military servicemen (G1: military personnel in the Armed Forces; G2: Chinese army military cadets) (n1 = 98, n2 =140) were sampled and investigated. The assessment tools of hardiness scale (DRS), behavioral activation and inhibition scales (BAS/BIS), and Center for Epidemiological Survey-Depression Scale (CES-D)/Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) were used. General linear model was conducted to examine the predictive role of hardiness (DRS) and motivation (BAS/BIS) on depressive symptoms (CES-D or BDI). The mediating role of BAS/BIS between hardiness and depressive symptoms was examined. Results. (1) Across army soldiers and military medical university cadets, hardiness (β=-0.394, P<0.001) and behavioral inhibition (β=0.297, P<0.001) significantly predicted depressive symptoms. (2) For soldiers only, behavioral inhibition mediated the significant association between hardiness and depressive symptoms (β=-0.043, SE=0.027, 95%CI=-0.130~-0.008). (3) For cadets only, behavioral activation-Drive significantly predicted depressive symptoms (β=-0.237, P=0.012), and hardiness operates through behavioral activation-Drive to influence depressive symptoms (β=-0.057, SE=0.036, 95%CI=-0.151~-0.078). Conclusion. Individuals who are low in hardiness and behavioral activation-Drive and who are high in behavioral inhibition showed more severe depressive symptoms. The relationship between hardiness and depressive symptoms was mediated by behavioral activation-Drive in cadets and behavioral inhibition in soldiers. The proposed model offers a useful approach for the development of hardiness training programs to alter approach/avoidance motivation in the military context. Future training program of hardiness could lay more emphasis on promotion of perseverance in pursuing goals in hardy individuals, which may in turn improve active coping.
