title: Impact of units on rotation at the National Training Center: the Fort Irwin MEDDAC experience.
abstract: Soldiers who experience orthopedic injuries during their training cycle at the National Training Center have a major impact on the Fort Irwin MEDDAC. The majority of hospital referrals from the field medical companies and admissions occur during the training days 7 through 20. Vehicular and other training accidents result in a mini-MASCAL at least once during the rotation, requiring the activation of selected MEDDAC personnel.
