Operational medicine in disasters.
There are many similarities and differences between operational and disaster medicine. Over the past several years, there have been increasing requirements for the use of military and tactical law enforcement operational medicine in disaster, humanitarian assistance, and terrorist settings. Many of the TEMS techniques have a direct application to disaster medicine.
