FM 8-55 1-2 MEDICAL FIELD MANUAL REFERENCE DATA CHAPTER 1 GENERAL 1. PURPOSE AND SCOPE.---. The purpose of this manual is to furnish to medical offlcers a compact source of information bearing upon the military aspects of their profession. b. This manual includes the logistical data required for the movement of medical units and for the evacuation of the sick and injured; experience tables to serve as points of departure in medical planning; medical plans and orders; command and staff relationship. l 2. REFERENCE DATA.---a. Military technique is an art rather than a science. The many imponderables present in military situations make precise measurements impossible. Certain yardsticks are, of course, essential in planning; but it is dangerous to rely with complete confidence upon an average experience in each special situation.
