Abstract

The redeployment phase of Operation Desert Storm resulted in a number of clinical and casualty management challenges to the mental health support system. Psychological factors affecting post-combat adjustment may be unique to this short, successful operation. Evacuation policy and available assets will be discussed in light of their effects on clinical presentations, and recommendations made for combat psychiatric policy in future foreign interventions.
