Printed in the United States of America. 987654321 SPIN 10689440 www.springer-ny.com Springer-Verlag New York Berlin Heidelberg A member of BertelsmannSpringer Science+Business Media GmbH Foreword As Surgeon General of the United States Air Force, it is a real plea- sure to write this foreword for the first modern textbook describing the medical aspects of aeromedical evacuation (AE). This textbook would not only have proven invaluable to me and my colleagues as we served our nation in Europe and Southeast Asia during the 1980s and early 1990s, but today it will provide an absolutely invaluable resource for all medics in the Department of Defense. I would like to say a special thanks to Bill Hurd, whose idea it was to publish this textbook and whose persistence was crucial to making it a reality. As described in chapter 2, AE has always been a vital link in the chain of medical care provided for all our soldiers, sailors, Marines, and airmen. Without AE, neither I nor any of my fellow Surgeons General could guarantee proper “full-spectrum” medical care to our military men and women around the globe. This is our collective responsibility, regardless of where in the world disease or injury occurs. Because of the huge distances involved in moving many of our patients, AE has always been a challenge, but never more so than today. Beginning with Operation Just Cause in Panama (1989), it became apparent that our troops would, at times, suffer injury in a location where only minimal stabilizing medical care is available. In such situations, AE is absolutely critical to assure we can quickly move patients to state-of-the-art trauma centers, even though such centers are hundreds or thousands of miles away. During Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm (1990 to 1991), the amount of sealift required to move “mobile hospitals,” together with the time required to set them up, mandated that the medical services of all military branches find a new way to deliver medical care to combat troops. My predecessors and I, together with the Surgeons General of the Army and Navy, worked throughout the 1990s to streamline our medical forces. The end result is a truly light, lean, mobile, and capable array of medical forces that can arrive quickly on-scene for medical support of virtually any deployment anywhere in the world. However, such forces are equipped only for stabilization-type procedures and are far less capable than the old fixed facilities we had deployed in Europe during the Cold War. We simply must have the capability to v vi Foreword move our casualties out of the theater of operations as quickly as pos- sible, and AE is the key to making that happen. In fact, today we can aeromedically evacuate patients who are stabilized but not stable— providing critical care in the air—greatly enhancing the speed and capability of our AE service. Currently, the only people with more than a mere casual under- standing of the issues involved in moving patients are those USAF Reserve and Air National Guard forces (mostly nurses and adminis- trators) assigned to AE units, together with a handful of active-duty personnel who have served in one or two AE-related assignments during their careers. This textbook is rich with invaluable information that captures that experience and supplements Air Force guidelines and publications on AE. This textbook will also prove a valuable resource to civilian physicians as they make decisions regarding the medical factors they must consider as they move their patients back to or around the United States. As the world’s economy has become more integrated, American companies are stationing ever more Americans in foreign countries where medical care is often far substandard to expectations. The result is an increasing number of civilian patients who also need AE back to the United States. Further, even within the United States, subspeciality centers such as pediatric cardiothoracic surgery and burn centers often require the movement of patients over thousands of miles. I heartily congratulate the editors and chapter authors of Aeromed- ical Evacuation: Management of Acute and Stabilized Patients.I am confident it will become a much used resource by the thousands of physicians, nurses, and technicians charged with the responsibility of moving patients over long distances using aircraft. These individuals include members of all branches of the military and the many civil- ians involved in the commercial AE industry. For them, this book may be, quite literally, a “lifesaver.” Paul K.

    259 CHAPTER 15 View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by OAR@UM Side Scan Sonar and the Management of Underwater Cultural Heritage Timmy Gambin Introduction Th is chapter deals with side scan sonar, not because I believe it is superior to other available technologies but rather because it is the tool that I have used in the context of a number of off shore surveys. It is therefore opportune to share an approach that I have developed and utilised in a number of projects around the Mediterranean. Th ese projects were conceptualised together with local partners that had a wealth of local experience in the countries of operation. Over time it became clear that before starting to plan a project it is always important to ask oneself the obvious question – but one that is oft en overlooked: “what is it that we are setting out to achieve”? All too oft en, researchers and scientists approach a potential research project with blinkers. Such an approach may prove to be a hindrance to cross-fertilisation of ideas as well as to inter-disciplinary cooperation. Th erefore, the aforementioned question should be followed up by a second query: “and who else can benefi t from this project?” Benefi ciaries may vary from individual researchers of the same fi eld such as archaeologists interested in other more clearly defi ned historic periods (World War II, Early Modern shipping etc) to other researchers who may be interested in specifi c studies (African amphora production for example).
