About

Diseases and the Military Entire armies have been defeated by such disease outbreaks as dysentery, typhoid, yellow fever, plague, and malaria. Mishandling of food and food-related waste has been responsible for some of the diseases. Military leaders like Frederick the Great and Napoleon lost more soldiers to disease than to war-related causes. As late as the Korean Conflict, 25 percent of a division force was incapacitated by foodborne-related diseases. Military installations in the US are not immune to this problem. At a southwest military post, more than 800 soldiers were made sick by foodborne disease. The outbreak was traced to a sick foodhandler who was allowed to continue working. About 200 disease outbreaks affecting nearly 10,000 individuals are reported annually in the United States.
