About

The respiratory tract has defense mechanisms that prevent most microorganisms and foreign objects from entering the lungs of a healthy person. Sometimes these defense mechanisms cannot resist invasion, and infection occurs. The person's defenses may be weakened, damaged, or the invading agent may be too strong for the person's body to resist. As a Medical NCO, it is extremely important that you become aware of the characteristics and treatments for respiratory problems that you may encounter. With the awareness of respiratory diseases and their general characteristics, you may be alert for signs and symptoms of such diseases in the soldiers in your care.
