About

Public Health RM 216 1043 CHAPTER GENERAL 1. Purpose This manual is designed primarily to serve as a guide for Army Medical Service officers in the performance of their responsibilities in the field of nutrition as prescribed by AR 40-564. These responsi- bilities are manifold, but the Army Medical Service officer is most commonly concerned with so-called "normal" or preventive medical nutrition whose objective is the maintenance of an adequate nutritional status among healthy troops. A large part of this manual, therefore, is devoted to basic nutritional information and certain values, equivalents, percentages, and procedures which are useful to any officer concerned with and responsible for maintain-- ing an adequate troop-feeding program. A second purpose of this manual is to provide information on the feeding of civil populations under disaster conditions.
