Study Notes
Health and Medical Threats
- Health threat refers to an individual soldier's well-being.
- Medical threat encompasses potentially harmful enemy actions or environmental conditions impacting combat effectiveness.
- Disease and non-battle injuries (DNBIs) contribute to organizational losses without being classified as battle casualties.
- Four major medical threats include heat, cold, arthropod bites, and diarrheal diseases.
- Minor medical threats consist of toxic industrial materials, noise pollution, and pests.
Risk Management and Assessment
- Risk management involves a five-step process identifying and managing hazards.
- Risk assessment is the initial two steps of risk management, focusing on hazard identification and evaluation.
Field Sanitation Team (FST) Requirements
- Units must have designated sanitation teams composed of at least two certified personnel, including an NCO and possibly a medical member.
- FST members must stay with their unit for a minimum of six months after training.
Water Safety and Treatment
- Potable water is fit for human consumption, while palatable water is visually and organoleptically appealing.
- Chlorine residual refers to the chlorine left in water post-treatment, requiring specific levels: 2 ppm at distribution points and 1 ppm at consumption points.
- Four methods of water treatment include coagulation, filtration, disinfection, and chlorine treatment, needing a minimum contact time of 30 minutes.
Food Safety and Contamination
- Five common sources of food contamination include biological, chemical, physical hazards, cross-contamination, and improper handling.
- Critical bacteria causing foodborne illnesses are Campylobacter, E. coli, Listeria, Salmonella, and Staphylococcus.
- Six areas for maintaining sanitation in food handling cover preparation, storage, transportation, serving, and cleaning utensils.
Waste Disposal and Latrines
- Waste disposal categories include human, liquid, rubbish, and hazardous waste.
- Latrine placement must be 100 yards downwind from food services and 100 feet from water sources, ensuring significant distance from unit areas.
Disease Vector and Arthropods
- Vectors are carriers, especially arthropods, that transmit pathogens.
- Key arthropods affecting military operations are mosquitoes, filth flies, fleas, lice, cockroaches, and ticks.
- Various diseases like malaria, yellow fever, and plague are transmitted through specific arthropods, emphasizing the need for prevention measures.
Rodent Control
- Rodent control includes two types of traps: snap traps and bait stations.
- Common diseases spread by rodents encompass leptospirosis, salmonellosis, hantavirus, and plague.
Heat and Cold Injuries
- Heat-related injuries include cramps, exhaustion, and heatstroke, while cold injuries can be freezing (frostbite) or non-freezing (hypothermia).
- Factors affecting injuries involve acclimatization, nutrition, and fatigue levels.
Toxic Industrial Materials (TIMs)
- TIMs can enter the body through inhalation, absorption, ingestion, or injection.
- Biological effects of TIMs include irritation, asphyxiation, and systematic poisoning.
Noise Exposure
- Noise types affecting health are impact/impulse noise and steady noise.
- Proper management of these factors is critical to minimize their impact on health and operational effectiveness.
