About

1. Purpose and Scope a. This manual is intended as a guide to medical service planners in the field.

The material presented herein, although based on nonnuclear combat experiences, may be applicable to both nuclear and nonnuclear warfare. The data are regarded as general guides rather than as authoritative predictions applicable to every situation. 2. Reference Data Military technique is an art rather than a science. The many imponderables present in military situations make precise measurements impossible.
