title: Burn injury care for Special Forces and far-forward deployed troops.
abstract: Special Forces are at risk of serious burn injury. We have suggested standard operating procedures for burn injury management in a constrained environment, with novel uses of operational kit components for trauma care. In addition, we propose instruction in basic skills of escharotomy for forward troops.
