FROM THE EDITOR JSOM DISCLAIMER STATEMENT: The Journal of Special Operations Medicine (JSOM) presents both medical and non-medical professional information to expand the knowledge of military SOF, civilian Tactical EMS, and gov- ernmental agencies with tactical medical assets. It promotes collaborative partnerships among services, compo- nents, corps, and various specialties. The JSOM conveys medical service support information and provides a peer-reviewed, quality print medium to encourage dialogue concerning SOF medical initiatives. The views con- tained herein are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the Department of Defense. The United States Special Operations Command and the JSOM do not hold themselves responsible for statements or prod- ucts discussed in the articles. Unless so stated, material in the JSOM does not reflect the endorsement, official attitude, or position of the USSOCOM-SG or of the Editorial Board. The Journal of Special Operations Medicine’s (JSOM) mission is to promote the professional development of Spe- cial Operations and TEMS medical personnel by providing a forum for the examination of the latest advancements in medi- cine and the history of unconventional warfare medicine. Starting with the Spring 2011 edition, the JSOM will become the Official Journal of the Special Operations Medical Assocoiation (SOMA). Contact information for the JSOM will change starting 1 May, 2011. I will post more information in the Spring Edition regarding where to go to submit, subscribe, or advertise. In the meantime, all submissions and any JSOM related issues can be answered by emailing me at [email protected]. CONTENT: All scientific articles are peer-reviewed prior to publication.

As we continue to grow and become more competitive with the other peer-reviewed medical journals on the market, all articles submitted by USSOCOM members must continue to be reviewed and pre-approved by your commander, compo- nent surgeon, and PAO prior to submission to the JSOM. Authors must adhere to standard OPSEC practices and refrain from mentioning specific units, specific locations, troop strengths, names of actively serving SOCOM personnel, TTPs, vulnerabil- ities, and any other information that could be of use to an adversary.

Articles published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Special Operations Medicine are indexed in MEDLINE® the National Library of Medicine’s (NLM) bibliographic database of life sciences and biomedical informa- tion. Inclusion in the MEDLINE database ensures that citations to the JSOM will be identified to researchers during searches for relevant information using any of several bibliographic search tools, including the NLM’s DISTRIBUTION: 1) SOMA members receive the JSOM as part of membership.
