Abstract

Most military physicians know that disease and non-battle injuries (DNBIs) have historically caused more death during war than battle injury. Most DNBIs are preventable, but many unit surgeons and physician assistants, especially at battalion/squadron and brigade/wing level, may not have had the benefit of preventive medicine training or experience. The authors present a logical and thorough framework that all unit surgeons can use to organize their preventive efforts.
