An RMO in Sierra Leone.
We enjoyed a very low level of DNBI during our deployment and no soldier had to be returned to the UK on medical grounds. None of the measures employed to reduce disease were complicated or new and most were merely common sense. The implementation does however require firm conviction by the chain of command. As in virtually all conflicts the greatest threat to a deployed force continues to be disease.
