ii INTRODUCTION

Thermonuclear weapons present problems in all the fields of social and biological sciences which demand answers. Ever since the first atomic bomb was dropped on Japan, we have been faced with the problem of man-made disaster whose death-dealing and injury-producing capabilities are infinitely greater than any previously known. The Army has had experience in the organizational and medical aspects of handling large numbers of casualties under combat conditions, but the overwhelming number of casualties which would result from thermonuclear warfare presents problems beyond the range of any previous experience. During the year 1956 the Army Medical Service School has worked towards meeting the chal- lenge of these problems in several ways:

1. Operation BLOWUP.

A field laboratory has been devised at Camp Bullis in which a thousand simulated casualties are produced by the explosion of an atomic bomb on an Army regiment in reserve. These casualties, when produced, are managed in such a way as to attempt to do the greatest good for the largest number and are treated in sorting stations, a division clearing station, and a surgical hospital. By means of this Exercise, firm concepts have been developed in respect to.

a. Sorting,

b. Organization of the chain of evacuation.

c. Supplies and equipment.

d. Transportation facilities.

e. Study and teaching of trauma.

A laboratory for this study has been established so that newly-inducted physicians in the Army can learn the principles and prac- tices of the care of combat casualties in the relatively quiet atmosphere of the laboratory rather than learning by experience in combat. To date, approximately two thousand medical officers have benefitted from this study, which in the near future is to be conducted in a new laboratory located in the School quadrangle.

2. Management of Mass Casualties Course.

Since February of 1956 a course in the Management of Mass Casualties has been conducted at the Army Medical Service School. This course sets forth revision of the organizational concepts required for the management of mass casualties and shows the principles for the modification of priorities required for the management of large nurbers of simultaneously generated casualties.

1 3o Civic and Federal Activities,

a. Various members of the School have participated in Medical Education for National Defense Committee (MEND) activities, traveling to various medical schools to deliver talks on the management of trauma and the management of mass casualties.

b. Several films have been developed at the Army Medical Service School to aid in teaching the management of trauma. These films include: (1) Tracheotomy, (2) Operation BLOWUP, (3) Debridement, and (4) A series of films on First Aid (candidate for an Academy Award), c. A symposium on the Management of Mass Casualties has been developed and is available for distribution not only to the students participating in this course but to persons outside the military service who request a copy. Another significant trend in 1956 has been the tremendous civic upsurge of the community which has been directed toward developing a San Antonio Medical Center which will complement the Brooke Army Medical Cen- ter. Major General William E. Shambora has committed the Brooke Army Medical Center to cooperation in the movement. The Commandant of the Army Medical Service School as a member of the San Antonio Medical Foun- dation, the San Antonio Chamber of Commerce Medical Facilities Committee, and the Executive Committee of the Southwest Foundation for Research and Education has assisted these civic organizations in planning the expansion of medical facilities in this area, As a result of the community enterprise, the Texas Legislature during the 1957 session will consider establishing a new San Antonio Medical School Branch of the University of Texas. Brooke Army Medical Center, the School of Aviation Medicine (new plant now under construction), the Southwest Foundation for Research and Education, and the proposed San Antonio Medical Center with its Med- ical School will result in a concentration of medical research and clinical and educational opportunities which will compare favorably with any in the United States.

The Army Medical Service School manifested a national influence by furnishing sponsors for medical schools in the teaching of various facets of military medicine, by being represented on the Council of the American Hospital Association, by serving as consultant to the National Academy of Sciences and the National Research Council, and for the first time in its history, by having a teaching article published in the esteemed "Journal of Medical Education."

There is close liaison and cooperation in medical teaching between the Army and the Air Force as attested by the fact that the Commandant of the Army Medical Service School presented the graduation address before a class of medical officers at the School of Aviation Medicine, Randolph Air Force Base, Texas, MISSION

The threat of thermonuclear warfare raises many problems. The solu- tion of some of these problems has been included in the mission of the Army Medical Service School during 1956, Some of the problems are: the development and testing of proedures for sorting, evacuating, and manag- ing assa asualties~ the determination of basic medical requirements in terms f time, personnel, equipment, and supplies; the conduct of courses of instructien in the Management f Mass Casualtiesj and the inclusion of Emergency Medical Treatment not only in courses for aidmen, but also in .ther .ourpses as applicable,

Howver, the basic mission. f the Army Medical Service School--to pro~Qde instruction which will increase the effectiveness of the Army Medical Servite-remains unehanged, This instruction is offered through resident and nonresident training.

Resident

The varied subjects as reflected in the courses offered are more nu.mers than those found in many civilian universities and range from the most elementary to the most advanced, For example, the professional and spcialist students receive additional training in subjects of particular military medical importane, such as mass casualties and medical operations in the field, On the other hand, the newly-integrated student is oriented in basic Army techniques procedures, and requirements.

Nonresident

The correspondence training activity of this School is one of the largest in the Army Service Sch1ol System. Extension courses are provided for all members-, both actie and reserve, of the Armed Forces., IMPROVEMENTS AND EXPANSION OF FACILITIES

Following are the major improvements and expansion of facilities. These were mainly improvement to instructional facilities whith would b? of benefit to the students of the Army Medical Service School1

The first and third floors of Se.tian II of Wickert Hall were completely remodeled to provide study rooms, offices, more classroom space, and modern laboratory teaching facilities,

The first floor now has a wellequipped, well-ventilated and well-lighted laboratory where physical therapy officers, Medical Servie COrp .. fficers, and selected enlisted personnel may study cadaver anatomy9 The equipment includes humidor-type dissetting tables and an adequate supply of cadaver material An amphitheater allows for demontratin f cadavers^ certain physiologicl experiments, and clinical-Nargical pro ceduresa A fairly large class can see each demonstration clearly. Other rooms on the first floor are used for anesthetization of experimental aimals and for storage of equipment such as kymographs and facilities for .aoking kymograph paper

The third floor modification provides a large, completely equipped laboratory for the training of physical therapy officer course (8-o-18) students, The training includes physical therapeutic procedures-- muscle testing and strengthening, massage, hydrotherapy, and the proper use of c~rtches• Also air- -nditioned classrooms, a study-room, and an office for instructors assigned to the Physical Medicine Branch, Department of Professional Sciences is provided,

An improvement in instructional services was effected by the Neurob psychiatric Branch, Department of Professional Sciences, by installing a mirrorroom, or one-way screen, between Rooms. 211 and 212 of Blesse Hall. As a result students may observe interviews and testing without distract- ing patients. Effectiveness of psychodiagnostic testing or clinical in- terviewing for both the student and the patient i increased.

The improvement of trainig aids has been a major objective of the Training Aids and Facilities Branch, Operations Division. A new protess for tinsparencies for overhead projection was initiated in 195 and used in prximately 99 percent of the 76612 training items produced in 196, T PrkeyPakistan, Thailand, Denmark, ormosa, and Iraq sent representa tives to the School to view this process0

At Camp Bullis, which is used for teaching field military medicine, inclined stairways were installed at Sykes Hill to eliminate the danger of falling on the steep hillside. Here male and female students receive instruction and observe practical demonstrations. At Oppenheimer Ranch the wounding pit used in Operation CASUALTY was improved with extensive remodeling of goat pens and installation of portable wood bleachers.

Classrooms in the officer training area were improved by installing model stages in four and permanent public address systems in 15.

Classrooms in both the enlisted and officer training areas were re- paired and improved by wall painting, installation of acoustical tile, and placing of 500 additional armchairs bringing all classrooms up to maximum seating capacity.

Dental enlisted courses (8-E-21), (8-E-34), and (8-E-35) facilities were greatly expanded and improved.

A 21-chair oral hygiene clinic, a 13-unit dental X-ray clinic, four classrooms, and two new laboratories were set up. One laboratory is primarily for teaching cobalt-chrome casting techniques; the other, for teaching advanced gold casting techniques.

These expanded and improved facilities are to accommodate the two new advanced courses (8-E-34) and (8-E-35) and to provide needed space for the basic course (8-E-21). STAFF PUBLICATIONS

32 GENERAL INFORMATION

The activities of and workload accomplished by the various offices, divisions, and departments of the Army Medical Service School are reflected in the following paragraphs:

During the latter part of the year 1956, the Army Medical Museum was closed for extensive renovating. Remodeling consisted of rewalling and paneling of the first three sections, installing modernistic fixtures, in- direct lighting, and functional painting. From the period 1 January to 15 July 1956 a total of 342 visitors, other than personnel of the School, visited the Museum. Following that date, all displays and equipment were placed in storage areas. Recent items donated to the Museum included 11 photographs of portraits of the Chiefs of the Army Nurse Corps, contributed by the Nursing Division, Office of The Surgeon General; and a model 1938 German Medical Officer's Kit, by Colonel Louis Saylor, MC, formerly assigned to the Education and Training Division, Office of The Surgeon General.

As a result of an over-all increase in the academic functions of the Army Medical Service School throughout the year, the Adjutant's Office accomplished the majority of administrative tasks which included the proc- essing of approximately 65,000 items of correspondence (logging in and out and preparation for mailing); 245 special orders and 6k general orders; 74 School regulations; 16 numbered training memoranda; and the preparation and expediting of 166 daily bulletins and 2h routine boards. The accomplishment of these tasks as well as responsibility for the Stimson Library, Book Store, and the Postal Branch were an integral part of the Adjutant's duties.

The Stimson Library, which is open to all assigned personnel as well as students, serve as a medico-military recreational library and reading room. The reading room is used extensively for professional, research, and recreational reading. Medical, nonfiction, and fiction books, magazines, and periodicals are available at all times. On 1 January 1956, 31,833 books were on hand. During the year 2,364 books were dropped from the Library Account, and 861 books were added, making a total of 30,330 accountable books on hand as of December 1956. The total library attendance for the year was 2L,185. Throughout the year a total of 12,522 items were circulated; interlibrary loans consisted of 239 books borrowed from 18 different libraries, and 32 books were loaned to 7 libraries. Items cataloged included 524 new books, recataloged 929 books, and L53 paper-bound documents, making a total of 1,906 items processed.

The Army Medical Service School Book Store provided facilities whereby students and faculty of the School were permitted to purchase miscellaneous school supplies and text and professional books at a.convenient loca- tion within the School area as well as at a considerable saving to the individual. As a result of the interest of Brigadier General DeCoursey, the Book Store now maintains a stock of inexpensive editions of a number of Great Books.

33 These publications are used by students as well as the faculty, and their participation in purchasing of this material is reflected in the increased sales during 1956. The statistical summary of activities of the Book Store for the calendar year 1956 in comparison with that for 1955 is as follows:

1955 1 9 5 6

Total cash sales end of year $57,895.87 $79,7h2.71

Purchase orders 1,120 2,080 Mail order sales 166 282 Customers 2.,521 38,543

The Office of the Chaplain conducted regularly scheduled religious service programs for Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish personnel. Chaplains for each faith administered on appropriate occasions; namely, character guidance lectures, graduation and orientation exercises, church services, marriages, funerals, hospital and home visits, personal interviews, and choir rehearsals. Appropriate speakers were obtained to administer and par- ticipate in special religious ceremonies.

The Legal Assistance Office, primarily responsible for rendering legal assistance to all military personnel of the Army Medical Service School and their dependents, and supervising and reviewing the administration and pro- ceedings of military justice within this Headquarters, disposed of 3,766 legal assistance cases and processed and reviewed 77 court-martial cases.

The 323d Army Band furnished music on 812 occasions for the School and Brooke Army Medical Center as a whole.

The total number of hours of demonstration by the 1st Battalion was 47,222.

The total number of hours of demonstration by the 37th Medical Bat- talion was 99,570.

The workload of the Operations Division is reflected in the following paragraphs:

The Training Aids and Facilities Branch completed the production of 75,612 training items, which consisted of charts, transparencies, signs, and Tri-D models. These training items produced during the year were considered outstanding by colleges, universities, industry, and foreign armies.

The Plans and Training Branch prepared for publication 16 numbered training memoranda; completed numerous staff studies pertinent to training matters; published programs of instruction for four officer and 2h enlisted courses which were approved by the Commanding General, Continental Army Com- mand; wrote and submitted 12 officer and 15 enlisted programs of instruction

34 to The Surgeon General for approval; coordinated activities in connection iwithOrganization Day; staffed and prepared special booklets utilized at conferences and for special courses held at the School; and completed formal arrangements for the participation of guest speakers and lecturers for courses taught at the Army Medical Service School.

The Troop Information and Education Section, Plans and Training Branch, scheduled and conducted Troop Information Programs for approximately 300 classes, with an average class attendance of 275 enlisted personnel. Guest speakers were obtained to lecture on a variety of subjects in an effort to keep the soldier informed concerning special topics of national, state, and local interest. Troop Information and Education bulletin boards were maintained and kept current for all units. A special news bulletin board was set up at the Headquarters of the School for the purpose of dis- seminating current world news. To stimulate an interest in the unit Troop Information and Education Center displays, this Section encouraged competition between the Army Medical Service School units for the development of outstanding displays. An honor plaque was presented to the unit having the outstanding display for each month. In this connection, the Brooke Army Medical Center Inspection Team selected the Army Medical Service School boards as being superior to all other display boards in the Center. In addition, this Section participated actively in Army education and testing activities. As a source for reference purposes, this Section maintained reference files on the Army Education Program (USAFI) and local colleges and universities, as well as material on educational institutions of other states. A broader educational advisement and counseling service was encouraged during the year. This activity included interviews between the Troop Information and Education Officer and newly assigned permanent enlisted personnel. As a result of these interviews, eligible personnel participated in the Army Education Program.

The workoad of the Reproduction and Training Publications Branch, for the year 1956, consisted of the following:

Stencils $1,271 Duplimats 30 3 9 0 Total 161

Mimeograph impressions 15,690, 15 Multilith impressions 9 2215377 Total 2,911,92

Whenever special events were held in San Antonio, such as operas, musicals, plays, football and baseball games, boxing matches, parades, pageants, etc., the Special Services Branch, Personnel Division, coordinated the sale of tickets for military personnel. This branch conducted an organized athletic program for student officers. Also, 258 dependent children participated in a swimming proficiency program taught by Special Services personnel. Craft shop activities were included as a responsibility of this Branch. The Food Service Branch, Supply and Service Division, operated Mess Halls Numbered 1, 2, and 4, and one Ration Breakdown Section at Fort Sam Houston, and Mess Hall Number 12 (field unit) at Camp Bullis, Texas. During the year sack lunches and special meals were served to basketball and baseball participants in local tournaments, demonstration personnel, members attending committee meetings held at the School, anniversary and birthday celebrations, Organizational Day festivities, and students attending courses at the School. This Branch reported 1,324,656 type "A" field ration meals served to l.1,552 persons with $74,521.60 reimbursement collected and turned over to the Finance Officer.

The workload of the Department of Training Doctrine is reflected in the following report of projects completed by principal category"

36 MAJOR PROBLEMS

Major problems that affect the operation of the Army Medical Service School are listed in the following paragraphs,

a. Project 1 - Army Medical Service School Administrative and Classroom Building.

(1) Of necessity, training continues to be conducted in three separate areas of this Post and in classrooms located in buildings designed originally for troop housing, Although converted and rehabilitated to the extent feasible, these buildings do not permit facilities which meet ac- cepted standards for military instruction, and further, do not reflect the prestige this School commands. (2) In addition, the separation of these facilities imposes a constant transportation problem, demands additional personnel, administrative, and logistical support otherwise unnecessary, and causes loss of training time.

(3) In view of the foregoing, the Army Medical Service School deems it imperative that action be initiated for the early construction of Project 15 - Army Medical Service School Administrative and Classroom Building.

b. Student Inputs. Student inputs to classes did not parallel the expected inputs given to the School. Periodic peak loads were therefore experienced; it was difficult to adjust to the teaching load.

(1) Officer inputs for the Army Medical Service Officer Orien- tation Course (8-0-31) and the Medical Service Corps Officer Orientation Course (8-0-33) were extremely irregular.

(2) Enlisted inputs, especially for the advanced courses (.2 skill level), rarely met expected inputs and in many cases were below the economic minimum established for individual courses. Classes that do not meet the economic teaching minimum should be cancelled and students held over for the subsequent class, returned to parent organization, or transferred.

c. Appropriated Fund Data.

(1) During fiscal year 1956, approximately $950,000 of Medical Care Budget Program funds from the appropriation, Maintenance and Opera- tions, Army, were obligated for the operation of the Army Medical Serv- ice School. Approximately two-thirds of this amount was expended to pay civilian personnel, and the majority of the balance was used for procurement of medical supplies and equipment. Other technical service supplies

37 were furnished on a free-issue basis from Fort Sam Houston. Towards the end of the fiscal year, a shortage of funds available to Fort Sam Houston developed. This resulted in "restricted requisitioning" and "living off the shelf" until the beginning of fiscal year 1957.

(2) During fiscal year 1957, requisitions for all supplies and equipment require funding from funds available to the School. Current Annual Funding Program for the Army Medical Service School is $1,205,960. This is inadequate to fulfill requirements. A mid-year review of the Annual Funding Program was completed for forwarding to higher headquarters for necessary action.

(3) One serious and recurring inadequacy of funds is that available for "conference travel." The current ceiling of fiscal year 1957 is only $2,650. This amount must be greatly increased if the Army Medical Service is to attract, hold, and develop the type of officers desired.

d. Personnel.

The most serious problems which confronted the Personnel Division were (1) the constant shortage of enlisted personnel in certain MOSs; namely, 911., 845., and 710., and (2) the large turnover of instructor officer personnel due largely to completion of normal tour of duty.

e. Reserve Components Program.

(1) General comments.

(a) Although the over-all scope of the Reserve Components Program has not materially changed the enactment of the Reserve Forces Act, 1995, and the renewed emphasis and support given to the organization and training of reservists from DA level on down has had a decided impact and has resulted in a review and analysis of program planning. One notable increase in the scope of assigned functions was the CONARC directive as- signing responsibility to service schools for the determination of eligi- bility for the award of constructive credit to USAR school faculty members and the award of equivalent academic credits to USAR school graduates.

(b) There has been a large improvement in the quantity (50 percent additional over the previous year) and quality of the USAR school instructional material, as well as an improvement in support of the other Reserve Component activities. Such advances have been for the most part in direct proportion to the assigned work fQroe; however some assistance was given through assignments on a short-term basis of officer personnel awaiting schooling, This type of augmentation will not suffice for long- range planning; the desired long-range objective is more advanced planning and greater continuity of thought and action made possible by an adequate stabilized work force.

38 (2) Paralleling of resident associate courses.

There are three major obstacles to a really close paralleling of the resident associate courses in the USAR School Program. These obstacles are:

(a) The disparity between the 526 hours allotted for academic instruction in the resident associate courses versus the 384 hours of instruction permitted in the USAR school program. A belief exists in some quarters that the deficit of 142 hours in the USAR school program is largely offset by the fact that a 60-minute instructional period is prescribed in the USAR school program whereas resident instruction is based on a 45-minute instructional period. In actual practice, however, the USAR schools do not conduct 60-minute instructional periods except perhaps in the reserve duty training phase and, since the USA.R school instructors are not specialized in their subjects as are resident instructors, additional time would appear desirable to enable them to present the subject with a comparable degree of effectiveness with that of resident instruction.

(b) Adaptation of instructional materials used in the resident associate courses for use in the USAR school program. It is obvious that many hours of instruction conducted in the resident courses which are presented by guest speakers cannot readily be adapted for use in the USAR school program. In a similar manner, many periods of instruction are conducted in the resident courses requiring training equipment, facilities, and demonstration personnel which preclude their use in the USAR school program.

(c) The ever present problem of maintaining materials in a current status. Since USAR school materials must of necessity be selected, reproduced, stocked, and even distributed well in advance of their actual use, changes in military science and tactics and medical techniques and procedures make them outdated in some respects before they are actually presented. This is the type of criicism meost frequently receive:d fro: using agencies and is a deficiency most difficult to correct nrithout a large staff to constantly review, revise, and publish errata sheets to lesson plan materials as they are received.

(3) Equivalent academic credits. Under authority contained in letter, file ATTNG-RC 325/35 (USAR) (20 Apr 5) Hq CONARC, 20 April 19.55, subject: "Directive for USAR Schools," this School began awarding equivalent academic credit to graduates of the USAR school (Medical Branch) program. To date 80 such awards have been issued. Awards of constructive credit to USAR school faculty members were authorized under letter, file ATTNG-RC 210.8/12 (USAR) (1 Nov 55) Hq CONARC, November 19.5, subject: "Award of Constructive Credit to USAR School Faculty M1embers." Although numerous requests were made for award of constructive credit under this directive, only four instructors were certified as qualified by the USAR

39 school cormma:ndants. Paragraph 5 of the above cited directive stated that the officer must pass with a satisfactory grade all examinations prescribed in the program of instruction of the course for which constructive credit was requested. It was this requirement which most instructors were unable to fulfill and also the principal basis on which a majority of requests were returned without action.

(4) Catalog of instructional material. Current project with a target date for completion of first quarter of calendar year 1957 will combine both the Catalog of Instructional Material and the Training Aids Catalog of Vu-Graph Transparencies. It is intended that the new catalog will contain two parts which will be mutually supporting; i.e., Vu-Graph transparencies depicted in Part II will support instruction given in the lesson plans listed in Part I of the catalog.

f. Extension Courses Program.

(1) As a result of new directives from CONARC and changes in Army Regulations, a complete revision of the Extension Courses Program has been instituted. Briefly, the numbered series system has been dis- carded and a "course" concept adopted. The Army Medical Service School Resident Company Grade Associate Course and the Resident Advanced Associate Course will be paralleled as closely as practicable. The course concept is also programmed to provide military instruction paralleling other resident courses as well. The immediate objective has been established that 146 new subcourses be prepared, although existing subcourses will be used as much as possible.

(2) The current enrollment in the Army Medical Service Exten- sion Courses Program projected to 31 December 1956 is approximately 7,100 students. The reduction in enrollment, as compared with last year's report, is primarily caused by the transfer of the administration of precom- missioned extension courses to the Infantry School. During the last three months of 1956, however, new enrollments in the course concept programs have indicated a rapid increase in total enrollment. Obviously, innumer- able administrative problems have arisen as a result of these policy changes and have been resolved as they occurred.

(3) The most serious problem forecast for the next six months is the possible time lag for some advanced students which may result before certain subcourses can be made available to them.

g. Subject Specialist Section.

(I) The maintenance of approximately 75 extension courses prepared by this agency has been carried on although emphasis has been shifted to the requirement that subcourses paralleling resident courses of instruction be prepared. This will require the writing of approximately 10 to 150 new subcourses within the next 18 months.

40 (2) It is felt that the hours on nonresident instruction presented to orientation and refresher courses should be included in all resident courses because this instruction has created much interest and has increased the demand for instructional assistance from active and USAR TOE and TD units as well as USAR schools.

,Member of Faculty Board Organizational Changes

Organizational changes ouarred during the calendar year 19$56 These modifications were accomplished as a reult intensive study and beame effective as outlined in the following paragraphs.

Under the provisions of School Regulations Number 10-5, Headquarters, Army Medical Service School, dated 19 March 196, redesignations within Operations Division changed Plans Branch to "Plans and Training Branch, the Mimeograph Section to "Reproduction and Training Publications Branch"t and Facilities Branch to "Training Aids and Facilities Branch," The Ad, ministrative Branch was discontinued and its functions and personnel were divided between the Office of the Chief, Plans and Training Branch, aid the Reproduction and Training Publications Branch. These changes and redesignations were effected in order to achieve better control, coordination, and usage of personnel within the Operations Division of the School. During June 1956, the Administrative Supply Section, Training Aids and Facilities Branch, Operations Division, moved from the basement of Coers Hall, Building 2265, to Wickert Hall, Building 2266, Room 102. This section assumed responsibility for two additional subactivity accounts; namely Property Accounts 102-2 and 102-13. This consolidation eliminated one officer and two enlisted men from the TD and improved the efficiency of the operation of the section.

Effective 21 August 1956, the Property Section 2200 Area was transferred from the control of the Supply and Service Division to Operations Division,

The 37th Medical Battalion (Separate), a Deployable School Support Unit, attached to the Army Medical Service School with the primary mission of training, in accordance with Department of the Arny Circular Number 61k-3, dated 15 December 1955, was redesignated a "Strategic Reserve Unit" by the Department of the Army Message 435931, dated 12 July 1956. The 37th Medical Battalion (Separate) consists of Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment; 520th Medical Company (Clearing) (Separate) (Attached); 566th Medical Company (Ambulance) (Separate) (Attached); and the 712th Medical Company (Preventive Medicine) (Separate) which was attached to the 37th Medical Battalion (Separate), effective 7 July 1955 to provide facilities for field study, evaluation, and control of environ- mental and other factors in the field, which includes demonstrations and training in conformance with General Orders Number 21, Headquarters, Brooke Army Medical Center, dated 1 July 1955.

Effective h June 1956, Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment, 37th Medical Battalion (Separate), was reorganized under Tables...of Organ- ization and Equipment Number 8-260, dated 22 January 1956, by authority of paragraph 1, General Orders Number 16, Headquarters, Brooke Army Med- ical Center, Fort Sam Houston, Texas, dated 1 June 1956, This reorgan- ization affected the former authorized strength of this unit for four officers and 20 enlisted men and increased the authorized strength to five officers and 22 enlisted men.

The 520th Medical Company (Clearing) (Separate) was reorganized under Tables of Organization and Equipment Number 8-28R, dated 17 March 1955, effective 4 June 1956 by General Orders Number 23, Head- quarters, Brooke Army Medical Center, Fort Sam Houston, Texas, dated 21 September 1956, effective 25 September 1956. The assigned strength of this unit as of 31 December 1956 was three officers, one warrant officer, and 70 enlisted men.

Effective 25 July 1956, the 712th Medical Company (Preventive Medicine) (Separate), was reorganized under Tables of Organization and Equipment Number 8-117R, in accordance with General Orders Number 23, Headquarters, Brooke Army Medical Center, Fort Sam Houston, Texas, dated 21 September 1956, Authorized strength was five commissioned officers and h3 enlisted men. Appendix II - Training

Throughout the year 196, liaison visits were made to the Army Med- ical Service School by numerous Allied officers. The purpose of these visits was to gain an insight into the organization and mission of the School; to tour classrooms and facilities; to observe demonstrations and special field exercises; to observe the development, value, and use of training aids innovated at the School; and to acquire a knowledge of the type and extent of training being included in courses conducted at this School. Special itineraries were arranged by the Coordinator for Foreign Liaison for the following visitors:

Emphasis was placed on the conduct of practical and logistical exercises, as well as realistic field demonstrations for officer and student personnel of the School. Department directors and instructors attended special courses at other service schools; participated in regional and national conferences and meetings; and presented lectures on general and specialized subjects to local civi organizations, groups, and schools. Officer participation was actively encouraged in various programs, such as physical training programs; martial law; instructors' training programs; -ourses pertaining to chem l, bioical cal, and radiological warfare; management of mass casualties; and special weapons utilization,

From 28 May 1956 to 11 June 1956, approximately 48 students in Class 1, FY 57, Hospital Administration Course (8-0-6), were placed on temporary duty status to military, Veterans Administrationand civilian hospitals in Texas for the purpose of applying techniques and methods of training acquired during the school year and to determine solutions to problems which existed within these respective hospitals. A total of 58 students, which included 36 Army, 15 Air Force, and 7 Allied, reported for the Hospital Administration Course (8-0-6) Class 1, FY 58, that started 10 September 1956. Of these students, 33 graduate and 18 undergraduate students made formal application to matriculate for credit with Baylor University through the joint Army-Baylor affiliation programs.

A program for the purpose of conducting research into better teaching methods was instituted in connection with the Hospital Administration Course (8-0-6). In addition to the benefits derived at the Army Medical Service School, this program is necessary to retain the accreditation of the Hospital Administration Course in the Association of University Pro- grams in Hospital Administration. One clearing platoon from the 220th Medical Company (Clearing) (Separate) 37th Medical Battalion (Sep) of the Army Medical Service School, participated in Exercise MOOSE HORN which was conducted at Fort Greely, Alaska from 24 January to 18 February 1956, The mission of the platoon was to provide actual medical support for Exercise MOOSE HORN and to determine whether or not a clearing platoon could operate effece tively using the present tables of organization and equipment, tactics, methods, techniques, and doctrines for operation in cold weather conditions in mountainous, Arctic, and subarctic terrain. The platoon treated 336 casualties during the Exercise. Problems of field medicine encountered included sanitation, individual clothing and equipment, and freezing of food and water. Recommendations concerning the maneuver were made to the Commanding General of the Continental Army Command.

Brief tours of the facilities of the Army Medical Service School were made during the months of February and March 1956 by General Maxwell D.

As a training measure, approximately 00 student officers attending military medicine courses at this School were given the opportunity to observe the medical air drop which was held at Brooks Air Force Base on 8 February 1956, The eight-hour demonstration consisted of a static display of airborne equipment, parachute drop of a pathfinder team, and a personnel and equipment drop of an airborne clearing platoon. Paramedics from the 307th Airborne Medical Battalion, 82d Airborne Division, Fort Bragg, North Carolina, participated in the air drop activities.

On 13 March 196, students from the Army Medical Service Company Officer Course (8-0-1), Associate Army Medical Service Company Officer Course (8-0-2), Army Medical Service Officer Advanced Course (8-0-3), Advanced Nursing Administration Course (8-0-27), and the Medical Service Corps Officer Orientation Course (8-0-33), visited Kelly Air Force Base in order to observe the characteristics and capabilities of a C-131A "Samaritan," equipped for aeromedical evacuation, and two C-12 . transport planes. The demonstration was beneficial in that it made available information pertaining to Army requirements for air movement, including the delivery of airborne forces, movement of supplies, personnel, and equipment, and the evacuation of casualties.

An orientation tour was conducted from 13 to 19 March 1956 for approximately 50 deans and coordinators of the Medical Education for National Defense Committee (IMEND). The group visited the School to observe training, methods of teaching, and to concentrate on problems to be encountered in medical planning for military and civilian emergencies. The itinerary included Operation BLOWUP, a field demonstration at Camp Bullis of medical service in an infantry division; Operation CASUALTY and the evacuation of mass casualties, the result of an atomic attack on an infantry division; and discussions and lectures concerning effects of nuclear weapons; calculation of casualties; epidemic control; Public Health Service activities during time of an emergency; and Public Health Reserve officer opportunities. Observation of activities of the Army Medical Service School and the Surgical Research Unit of Brooke Army Hos- pital concluded the schedule of planned activities.

On 16 April 1996, Major General Silas Bo Hays, The Surgeon General, Department of the Army, and his Advisory Council of Reserve General Officers, composed of eight senior Army Medical Service reserve generals, held their conference at the School, Their schedule of activities included a tour of the facilities of this installation and the demonstration of Operation BLOWUP at Camp Bullis, which was conducted during Class 2 of the Management of Mass Casualties Course during fiscal year 1956.

On 23 April 1956, a brief written "answer-type" examination, compiled by the Medical and Surgical Branch, Department of Professional Sciences, was distributed to all officer personnel assigned to the Army Medical Serv- ice School to determine the extent of their knowledge of medical terminol- ogy. The mean percentage grades by branch of service were: Medical Corps, 94 percent; Medical Service Corps, 73 percent; Veterinary Corps, 79 percent; Dental Corps, 80 percent; and Army Nurse Corps 87 percent. A significant number of Army Medical Service Corps personnel were not tested in order to calculate a percentage.

From 28 April to 6 May 1956, students in Class 1, Medical Service Officer Advanced Course (8-0-3); Class 1, Hospital Administration Course (8-0-6); Class 2, Army Medical Supply Officer Course (8-0-44); and designated members of the staff and faculty of the Army Medical Service School participated in LOGEX 56, at Fort Lee, Virginia. A total of 220 personnel, which included 176 officers and 44 enlisted men from the School, participated in this exercise. The officer students provided the logistical medical support play required by an attacking army. Staff and faculty members of the School served as umpires for the medical portion of the maneuver. This exercise was conducted for the purpose of training student officers from the various technical services, as well as selected Army Reserve officers, in the procedures required to maintain combat troops. A 40-hour Instructor Training Course, which was conducted from 23 April to 27 April 1956, was given to approximately 47 Army Medical Service officer and enlisted personnel assigned to training divisions. This instruction was based on a program of instruction approved by The Surgeon General, April 1956 and covered first aid, methods of instruction, human relations, and preventive medicine.

Through liaison and coordination of the Chief, Air Force Advisory Group, Department of Military Sciences, students in the Neuropsychiatric Nursing Course (8-0-7), were given a one-day indoctrination at Brooks Air Force Base on 18 May 1956 in the problems of transporting mental patients by air. A program of lectures, static displays, and actual flight was presented by personnel of the 1706th Air Transport Group (Air Evacuation).

Students in the Medical Service Corps Officer Orientation Course (8-0-33), participated in a field trip to Kelly Air Force Base on 28 May 1956. They were given the opportunity to view a display of transport aircraft, which included the C-127 and XC-99. The trip was brought to a close following a tour of the maintenance and supply areas of the Base. Approximately 120 USAR students attended Class Number 1, Management of Mass Casualties Course, which was conducted at this School from 30 July 1956 to 3 August 19,6. This instruction was presented to the students in lieu of their second week summer camp training.

Selected officers from the Department of Military Sciences and Pro- fessional Sciences, this School, participated in Exercise FIREDRILL, which was held at Brooke Army Hospital on 13 and lh September 1956. The purpose of this exercise was to test a plan designed to handle numerous casualties in San Antonio, should they occur. Lt Colonel H. Haskell Ziperman, MC, Chief, Medical and Surgical Branch, Department of Profes- sional Sciences, this School, served as Deputy Chief Umpire in charge of professional aspects. All other Medical Corps officers of the Medical and Surgical Branch were under the direction of Lt Colonel David J. Edwards, MC, Department of Professional Sciences, who set up and operated the Casualty Control Center,

The Inspector General, Office of The Surgeon General, Department of the Army, and a representative of the Continental Army Command, conducted an inspection of Brooke Army Medical Center, which included the Army Med- ical Service School, during the period 29 October to 7 November 1956. The itinerary for the Inspector General team was concerned mostly with training activities and areas connected with training. At the conclusion of their annual inspection of the School, no recommendations were made and only minor defects were noted,

On 4 December 1956, the Air Force Advisory Group of the Department of Military Sciences arranged for students in the Army Medical Service Company Officer Course (8-0-1), Army Medical Service Officer Advanced Course (8-0-3), Advanced Nursing Administration Course (8-0-27), and the Medical Service Corps Officer Orientation Course (8-0-33) to attend a static display of C-124 aircraft and associated aeromedical evacuation equipment at Kelly Air Force Base. The purpose of the display was to acquaint the students with the cargo and aeromedical evacuation capabilities of air transport planes.

A 12-hour course in "Training in Emergency Medical Care" was attended by all assigned Medical Service Corps, Army Medical Service Corps, Vet- erinary Corps, Dental Corps, Army Nurse Corps, warrant officer personnel, and students at the Army Medical Service School during the second quarter of the year.

In order to provide students with pertinent information in the various fields, a continuous educational guest speaker program was conducted throughout the year. The results of this program have been gratifying. The services of approximately 200 military and civilian lecturers and authorities in specialized fields were utilized by this School. These included representatives from the Office of The Surgeon General, the United States Air Force, the United States Navy, the United States Public Health and Welfare Service, the Federal Civil Defense Administration, Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Office of Defense Mobilization, Army Chemical Center,

53 as well as from numerous universities, colleges, and local municipal organizations. Special tours, demonstrations, and displays were conducted to give students the opportunity to gain firsthand information on special training phases.

During the year 1956, the Texas Air National Guard Unit at Brooks Air Force Base furnished aircraft to simulate a close support role in con- junction with Army medical demonstrations at Camp Bullis. As a result of connecting a mobile radio t the publi address system, the students were provided a realistic demonstration of air-ground coordination in tactical support of ground forces. The Skinner Medal fund was established in March 1917 upon acceptance by the then Surgeon General, Major General W. C. Gorgas, of an endowment of $1,000 in Liberty Bonds tendered by Major John O. Skinner, MC. In the year 1870 John 0. Skinner entered the Army as a contract surgeon. The greater part of his career was spent on the western frontier. For bravery in battle against hostile Indians he was awarded the Congressional Medal of Hbnor. Appreciating the importance to young medical officers of training in medical field service at the beginning of their career, he established the endowment fund to provide a medal to be presented to the Medical Corps student officer attaining the highest academic standing in the Army Medical Service Company Officer Course (8-0-1) each year. Trusteeship responsibility over the fund was vested with The Surgeon General, Department of the Army, and his successors. Each bronze medal is engraved with the student's name and year of presentation. During the year 1956 two classes were conducted for the Army Medical Service Company Officer Course, and the Skinner Medal Awards were received by Captain Spencer Walton, MC, and Captain Gilbert D. Huebner, MC. The Commandant of the Army Medical Service School presented each student with a Certificate of Award.

All administrative plans in connection with the conduct of these courses have been finalized. Major David Wu and five other interpreters from the Army of the National Republic of China were attached to the School on a loan basis for the purpose of translating lesson plans, mimeograph handouts, reference material, Vu-Graphs, and other training aids and material which will be used for the 8-AO-U (B) Course,

The attrition rate for enlisted courses for 1956 was h3 percent higher than the previous high year 1955 due to limited selection of personnel, in- put of Regular Army restriction of enlistees for these courses, increased emphasis on high student standards, and poor selection of inputs at source level. The highest attrition rates occurred in the following courses:

8-E-1 Dental Laboratory 8-E-h X-Ray Specialist 8-E-16 Clinical Psychology 8-E-20 Preventive Medicine Specialist 8-E-21 Dental Specialist 8-E-25 Medical Aidman (Advanced)

Army Medical Service two-phase courses consist of a didactic phase taught at the Army Medical Service School and an applicatory phase taught at selected Army hospitals. In the applicatory training, students apply the principles, techniques, and procedures learned in the didactic phase. The number of applicatory training stations was increased from 15 to 26 on 1 July 1956, in accordance with Department of the Army Circular Number 350-13, dated 12 June 1956.

At the close of the period 31 December 1956, the authorized operating strength of the Army Medical Service School was as follows:

Warrant Officer Officer Enlisted Civilian Aggregate

Technical Units 207 13 850 197 1,267 Service Units 2 - 4 - 6 Air Force 12 1 49 - 62 323d Army Band - 1 28 - 29 221 1 931 197 1,364

The above compares with an aggregate of 1,372 authorized 1 January 1956. While there were no significant changes in the aggregate authorization, changes in responsibility for providing personnel spaces did occur.

Air Force spaces assigned to the Army Medical Service School as authorized by AR 350-95, were reduced from 138 to 62 effective 1 April 1956. This was a result of the conference held at the School by representatives of the Army and Air Force in which they considered requirements for propor- tionate personnel support in light of over-all and Air Force projected student inputs.

Implementation of AR 10-50 resulted in a decrease of 17 service unit spaces formerly assigned to the Army Medical Service School by the Commanding General, Fourth Army. The reduction in service unit spaces totally, and in Air Force spaces, partially, was offset by increases in technical unit spaces. A personnel requirements survey was conducted during June 1956 for The Surgeon General by representatives of the Commanding General, Brooke Army Medical Center. Based on the programmed workload for FY 57, the team recommended an increase of 105 spaces. This increase was recommended: (1) to cover the immediate faculty and staff requirements for newly-established advanced enlisted courses; and (2) to handle the summer influx of large officer orientation courses. Although these recommended spaces were not completely filled, and the situation was aggravated by a continuous shortage of enlisted personnel, the training mission was accomplished because of two factors: first, during the first five months of FY 57 only 55 percent of programmed enlisted students were assigned to the various advanced courses: second, deployable TOE School support units were utilized to support instruction without decreasing their readiness as strategic reserve units.

61 Militar•s

Total officer losses were 107 compared to a gain of 80. Of the 107 losses, 45 were assigned to instructor positions and 62 to command and staff positions. Of the 80 gained, 38 were assigned instructor positions and 42 command and staff positions. This decrease in officer personnel was brought to the attention of The Surgeon General. Also, there was a steady decline in assigned enlisted personnel. A total of 468 cadre enlisted personnel, 44 of which were instructors were lost as a result of separations, reassignments within the zone of interior, and oversea levies, 432 were gained, 74 of which were instructors. Re- placements to fill shortages were requested; however losses continued to exceed replacements,

During the second quarter of the calendar year, members of the Depart- ment of the Army Personnel Management Team, Southwestern Area, Dallas, Texas, inspected records of assigned enlisted personnel to determine the extent enlisted personnel with specialized training and qualifications were being utilized within this command.

Civilian:

The annual civilian personnel survey of positions was conducted by the Salary and Wage Section, Civilian Personnel Branch, Brooke Army Medical Cen- ter, during the month of February. The findings were generally favorable.

A representative from the Office of the Secretary of the Army conducted a survey of supervisory positions in March, The purpose of this survey was to determine if the employees and supervisors were fulfilling their civilian personnel responsibilities as outlined in the Civilian Personnel Administra- tion Manual, Brooke Army Medical Center, June 1953. This over-all survey rating was "excellent"; and the personnel of Operations Division were specially commended for their conduct of the civilian personnel program.

For their performance of assigned duties in a manner deserving commenda- tion, the following civilian employees received the Sustained Superior Performance Award: Mrs. Bunnie A. Barlow, Library Assistant, Stimson Library; Mrs. Emma G. Coats, Secretary to the Commandant; Mrs. Marjorie G. Devine, Administrative Assistant to the Director, Department of Training Doctrine; C, Blanchard Henry, MoD., Instructor, Department of Professional Sciences; Miss Margaret Hoch, Secretary to the Assistant Commandant; Mrs. Amma Lange, Clerk-Stenographer, Supply and Service Division; Mr. Wilfred T, Lohse, Supervisory Illustrator, Graphic Arts Section, Training Aids and Facilities Branch, Operations Division; Mrs. Florence T. Mcllhenny, Super- visory Clerk, Schedules Branch, Operations Division; Mr. Alexander 0. Rodriguez, Lead Foreman, Reproduction and Training Publications Branch, Operations Division; and Miss Ethel Rothe, Secretary, Personnel Division. Appropriate ceremonies were conducted, at which time Brigadier General DeCoursey presented the monetary awards to the various recipients.

Mrs. Marie Ebest, Information and Editorial Specialist, Department of Training Doctrine, ended a 38-year Civil Service career during 19!6. The Commandant presented to Mrs. Ebest a Certificate of Achievement and the Sustained Superior Performance Award.

62 Appendix V - Conferences Held at Army Medical Service School

The Army Medical Service School Commandants7 Conference (Sixth) was held at this School during the period 6 to 7 March 1956. Representatives from the Office of The Surgeon General, Department of the Army; Office of the Surgeon, Continental Army Command; Walter Reed Army Medical Center; and Brooke Army Medical Center attended. The primary purpose of the two-day session was to exchange views and discuss mutual activities in connection with education and training concepts, and to discuss the various opera- tional procedures and problems encountered in Army Medical Service Schools. The agenda included discussions concerning the training pattern for radiological defense medical officers which had been recommended by the Army Medical Service School Commandants' Conference (Fifth); progress report on the establishment of preclinical clerkship; coordination of Walter Reed Army Institute of Research and Army Medical Service School schedules of classes for the Management of Mass Casualties Course; graduate medical education for medical officers; revision of the Army Medical Service Com- pany Officer Course (8-0-1); results of survey of physicians separated from active military service, conducted by the Council on National Defense, as reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association, 26 November 1955; Reserve Training Program; functions of the Army Medical Service Board and its relationship to the Army Medical Service School system; the Exten- sion Courses Program; revision of extension courses and related literature; special text or technical manual for the medical aidman; report on recent developments in dental training; and a consideration of university affiliation for the following courses: Nursing Administration (8-0-27); Neuropsy- chiatric Nursing (8-0-7); and Ward Management and Supervision ( 8 -0-i1). The conference concluded with a discussion of unsolved problems and a summariza- tion of the conference recommendations. The recommendations were submitted to The Surgeon General for consideration.

On 8 and 9 March 1956, medical instructors from Army service schools met for the Eighth Medical Instructors' Conference. The purpose of the meeting was to assist in standardizing Army Medical Service doctrine, tactics, and techniques being conducted at several service schools; and to develop and stimulate an interest in new items of Army medical equipment. Conferees included representatives from the Office of The Surgeon General, Department of the Army; Office of the Surgeon, Continental Army Command; Brooke Army Medical Center; Armed Forces Institute of Pathology; Command and General Staff College; Infantry School; Quartermaster Subsistence School; Chemical Corps School; Armored School; Signal School; Antiaircraft and Guided Missiles School; United States Military Academy; Artillery School; and the Army Aviation School.

63 Approximately 50 Army nurses attended the second annual two-week Institute on Nursing Service Administration during the period 9 to 20 April 1956. Many of the nurses were in the United States Army Reserve. The objectives of the Institute were to discuss and compare ideas and developments, and to promote greater efficiency in the nursing service. The program included discussions, lectures, and orientations which depicted trends in nursing education and the role of the Army health nurse

64 Appendix VI Exhibits, Demonstrations, and Ceremonies

By proclamation of the President of the United States, the annual observance of Armed. Forces Day was designated as 19 May 1956o The slogan, "Power for Peace" was depicted throughout the celebration activities. Armed Forces Week was officially opened with a band concert given at the Sunken Garden Amphitheater on 13 May 1956, Brooke Army Medical Center was represented in this concert by the 323d Army Band from the Army Medical Service School. Two battalions of troops from the School marched in the Armed Forces Week Parade. Training of officers and enlisted men of the Army Medical Service was portrayed in a window display in a local department store. Joint Armed Forces Open House, held at Randolph Air Force Base in Hangar lh, included Army Medical Service School static displays of technicians demonstrating various types of bandages; the circulatory system of the body; a blood pressure demonstration which involved public participation; the use of a tachistoscope and reading rate controller by the Reading Development Laboratory; a training aids display showing bleeding moulages; an exhibit from the Army Medical Service School Museum presenting various factors involved in rabies, its spread, and control; a water purification display of the "Never Ending Water Faucet" with a model water treatment plant; prevention of rodent-borne diseases; an exhibition of live yellow fever mosquitoes; and a theater showing of continuous runs of Army Medical Service films used by the School -- the "Battle of San Pietro," "Letter to a Nurse," "Native Food Hazards," "Veterinary Service," "Effects of Atomic Weapons," and "Medical Evacua- tion."

Troops from the Army Medical Service School and the 323d Army Band participated in the annual Fiesta de San Jacinto, which was celebrated in San Antonio 21 April to 26 April 1956. A float entitled, "Dance of the Flowers," depicted a summer scene that included a revolving maypole surrounded by five children, the Brooke Army Medical Center queen and her court; roses; animated waterfalls; and perfumed spray, was entered in the Battle of Flowers Parade. A second float, "Concerto," displayed in the Flambeau Night Parade was the largest entry in competition (72 feet long, lh feet 7 inches wide, and l feet high), and represented a musical set- ting with the main theme focused on an illuminated harp, an enlarged silver fabricated piano, perfumed spray, and numerous handmade roses. These floats were designed and. constructed by the Training Aids and Facil- ities Branch, Operations Division, of the School. Each float was awarded first place prize in the military division.

Organization Day for the Army Medical Service School was changed. from 15 January to 30 June on 2h February 1956, by order of the Secretary of the Army. The reasons for this change were that the School was established on 30 June 1920 and reorganized on 15 January 19L7, and it pre- cluded the necessity of celebrating the anniversaries of two Army Medical Service organizations, Brooke Army Medical Center and the Army Medical Service School, within the same 30-day period., thereby making the ceremonies' more effective. Brigadier General DeCoursey, Commandant of the School, officiated throughout the activities of the occasion. The schedule of events, held at Salado Park, included a swim meet; golf tournament; "Old Timers" baseball game, composed of teams made up of officers and enlisted men of the School over 40 years of age; horseshoe pitching; and the cutting of a huge, elaborate, and beautifully decorated cake. An out- door luncheon and. supper were served to all in attendance. Following the presentatiorn of awards and appropriate ceremonies, the Army Medical Service School brought to a close another year of training and service.
