With varying degrees of potential efficacy, conditioned by the state of knowledge and by the enterprise of leaders and their followers, these programs have provided for the application of measures of control not only in strictly military situations but also in civilian populations in the environment of war areas when conditions in such groups were threats to the health of troops or possible hindrances to the progress of campaigns. These programs have been and must be, intelligent combinations of measures which rest upon the responsibility of the individual person and of public health activities which are the responsibility of the community. Military preventive medicine is in fact the public health of the community of the Army. 606 $aMedicine, Military$zUnited States$xHistory 615 0$aMedicine, Military$xHistory. 700 $aBayne-Jones$b Stanhope$f1888-1970.$0150969 701 $aAnderson$b Robert S$0269748 712 02$aUnited States.$bDepartment of the Army.$bOffice of the Surgeon General. 801 0$bDTICE 801 1$bDTICE 801 2$bGPO 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910696507003321 996 $aThe evolution of preventive medicine in the United States Army, 1607-1939$93540587 997 $aUNINA
