Casualties treated during MILCON 92: relevance to training of militia medical personnel.
A brigade field hospital provided the medical support for 2,600 troops during MILCON 92 (Militia Concentration 1992). During the exercise, 6.5% of the military personnel required treatment. Medical illnesses were far more common than traumatic injury. The spectrum of medical and surgical illness treated during militia exercises should be used as a guideline for the education and training of medical personnel.
