Despite general concurrence in findings to support these claims, few changes have been made at the field level. The most important recommendations remain unimplemented, despite the compelling rationale for urgent action. Protecting Those Who Serve illuminates these recommendations and government-developed plans that remain inactive due to a lack of authority within the Department of Defense, while describing the dangers that may result from failure to protect our forces in the field.Compass series (Washington, D.C.)Strategies to protect the health of deployed U.S. forcesSoldiersHealth and hygieneUnited StatesSoldiersProtectionUnited StatesSoldiersHealth risk assessmentUnited StatesUnited StatesArmed ForcesMedical careSoldiersHealth and hygieneSoldiersProtectionSoldiersHealth risk assessment355.3/45/0973MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910961004303321Protecting those who serve4360438UNINA
