The exercise held at Brussels Airport was carried out by inexperienced personnel to highlight the most common errors and shortcomings of an existing disaster plan.INCIDENT COMMUNICATIONOnce an aircraft is known to be in trouble, all the nearby fire brigades are alerted by means of the unique call number 900 and move to take up their stand-by position close to the landing point. The Military Hospital is also alerted and sends out a liaison car, with a doctor among its occupants. This car joins the stand-by position. Once the aircraft has crashed, the fire engines rush to the site and all the major university hospitals and the Military Hospital are notified by the same 900-code number. Disaster teams arrive by road.This report is almost exclusively limited to aspects of rescue, triage, on-site stabilization, and evacuation of the casualties.

IntroductionDuring 2008 Russian Federation realized major aggression against its direct neighbor, the sovereign republic of Georgia. It was Russia's attempt to crown its long time aggressive politics by force, using military forces. EMS physicians from Tbilisi went to the Gori district on August 8 at first light, 14 brigades were sent. At noontime of August 8, their number was increased up to 40. 6 brigades of disaster medicine experts joined them as well.ResultsDestination site for the beginning was the village Tkviavi, where a military field hospital was assembled and a Military Hospital in Gori. Later 6 brigades were withdrawn towards the village Avnevi. During fighting, wounded victims were evacuated from the battlefield, where initial triage was done. Evacuated victims were brought to the military hospital where the medical triage, emergency medical care and transportation to Gori military hospital or to Tbilisi hospitals was done. A portion of the wounded was directly taken to Gori military hospital and later to different civil hospitals in Tbilisi. Corpses were transported to Gori morgue as well. On August 9, the emergency care brigades and field hospital left Tkviavi and moved to the village Karaleti, then to Gori. On August 12, the occupied territory was totally evacuated by civil and military medical personnel. Although withdrawal of wounded was done on following days. Up to 2232 military and civil persons were assisted by EMS brigades during war period (8–12 August), from them 721 patients were transported among which 120 were severely injured.ConclusionClose collaboration between military and civil EMS gave the system opportunity to work in an organized manner. On the battlefield prepared military rescuers were active taking out wounded victims to the field or front-line hospitals from which civil emergency care brigades transported them to Tbilisi hospitals. Only 3 fatalities occurred during transportation.

In July 1862, small band of Sisters of Mercy, led by Mother Mary Madeline Tobin, arrive at Beaufort and take charge of the military hospital at the Atlantic Hotel-once a fine report, now half-derelict and spoiled by looting. They find patients badly fed, suffering with little care and no sanitation. They demand food, clothing, cleaning and medical supplies. Quickly they transform the squalid place into a clean hospital that provides excellent care for wounded and ill men of both armies. They are among some 600 women from 21 religious orders who labor among the battlefield wounded. Four of the sisters die in service. All exhibit extraordinary commitment and perseverance and earn the undying loyalty of the soldiers to whom they minister-many of whom have never before encountered a nun and are at first confounded by their black and white habits, but quickly are won over by the sisters’ gentleness and competence.

Chapter 1 gives the reader a tour—a kind of ride-a-long or a kind of “see-what-I-see” experience. Much of the chapter is about the combat part of combat social work: What does social work look like outside the wire, downrange, or in combat or other hostile and dangerous battles or threats. This chapter will enable the reader to appreciate the role and experiences of combat social workers, as captured in later autobiographical chapters. However, deployments are time-limited (7–15 months, as a rule), and most of the time spent as a military social worker is in garrison (i.e., base camp with offices, often a behavioral health clinic or the social work department at a military hospital). This is where and how most members of the military receive their mental health treatment—conducted by military social workers. This is discussed in Chapter 2.

Sixth Form

Ernest John Maskell was born in Cambridge on 1 February 1895. He went to the Cambridge County School (now Cambridgeshire High School for Boys) with a scholarship. His brothers recall that he was very studious, generally preferring a book to games, in which, however, he played his part. His studious inclination, aided by a retentive memory, reaped its reward of prizes. He became a school prefect, in which capacity he showed a quality he retained throughout his life: a marked ability to get on with his juniors, his equals, and his seniors. He had the privilege of being taught by Dr M. Dawson who later became H.M. Inspector of Schools. She encouraged and stimulated his early interest in botany, and Maskell always, and rightly, held her in high regard. When he reached the Sixth Form, or a little later, he, with nine others, formed ‘The Honourable Order of the Upper Ten’ whose motto was ‘Speak truth, live pure, right wrong, follow the Christ the King’. One of their rules was ‘That it be incumbent upon every Knight to correspond with every other and with the Rev. C. J. N. Child at least every Christmas’. Many did so maintain contact. Another rule was ‘That the Order continue until the death of the last Knight’—Maskell’s was the first death. He maintained his connexion with his old school by serving on the Old Boys Society, of which he became President. He was also, for a long time, one of the members of the Governing Body of the school appointed by Cambridge University. At the age of eighteen he went to Emmanuel College as an Entrance Scholar. In 1915 he was placed in the First Class of Part I of the Natural Sciences Tripos and was awarded the Frank Smart Prize in Botany. At this stage his academic studies were interrupted by his joining the Friends’ Ambulance Unit. In this service he formed a close friendship with a Fellow of his college, Mr L. H. G. Greenwood, who writes: ‘I first came to know him when he was an undergraduate here before 1914, but I remember little about that time. We became close friends during the war at the military hospital in York, mainly staffed by the Friends’ Ambulance Unit, of which we were both members. In the often trying conditions of service there, his unselfish and co-operative friendliness, together with his complete efficiency, did much to make things go smoothly and happily. Later, for a shorter time, we were together at the hospital in Courtrai also run by the Unit, and the same remarks apply to his service there.’

Introduction. Malaria had been eliminated in Tunisia since 1979, but there are currently 40 to 50 imported cases annually. Soldiers are no exception as the incidence of imported malaria is increasing in Tunisian military personnel after returning from malaria-endemic area, often in Sub-Saharan Africa. Methods. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical and biological presentations, treatment, and outcomes of 37 Tunisian military personnel hospitalized at the Department of Internal Medicine, the Military Hospital of Tunis, between January 1993 and January 2011, for imported malaria. The clinical and laboratory features were obtained from the medical records and a questionnaire was filled by the patients about the compliance of malaria prophylaxis. Results. Thirty-seven male patients, with a mean age of 41 years, were treated for malaria infection. Twenty-two were due to Plasmodium falciparum. The outcome was favourable for all patients, despite two severe access. The long-term use of chemoprophylaxis has been adopted by only 21 (51%) of expatriate military for daily stresses. Moreover, poor adherence was found in 32 patients. Conclusion. The risk of acquiring malaria infection in Tunisian military personnel can largely be prevented by the regular use of chemoprophylactic drugs combined with protective measures against mosquito bites.
