  • 2017 Research Abstracts Selection for Podium Or Poster Presentation
    2017 Research Abstracts Selection for Podium or Poster Presentation TOP PODIUM PRESENTATION Social Media and Military Medicine SFC Paul E. Loos, NCOIC Surgery, Anesthesia, Records and Reports Section, Special Forces Medical Sergeants Course, Joint Special Operations Medical Training Facility, Fort Bragg, NC Background: As technology in communications advances, best practices in tactical or military medicine can be shared at the speed of creation. Currently best practices are spread through the publishing of texts, scholarly journal articles, word of mouth, or during periodic refresher courses. This leaves many tactical medical providers and medical directors using different protocols and recommendations for patient care. The goal of my presentation is to inform and empower medical providers to more efficiently disseminate needed medical information to medics in their charge utilizing modern communications techniques. Methods: Trial and error and 3 years of experience. Results: 160,000 hits on our website made by over 70,000 unique IP addresses around the world on our blog posts, podcasts and recommendations. Discussion: Due to a variety of reasons, military medics are not getting the most up to date information regarding the treatment of casualties throughout the gamut of tactical medicine. I will submit a layered approach using multiple solutions in improving communication of current best practices and recommendations from unit surgeons down to the end-user medic on the ground. This will include discussions on social media use, and etiquette, by military members to include different social media platforms as well as current USSOCOM and DOD policy. Depending on the content to be released, various social media sites are better used for certain purposes.

He is an experienced leader who has led at every level from platoon to geographic combatant command. He is also a member of a very small group of Army senior leaders who have risen from private to four-star general. General Ham served as an enlisted infantryman in the 82nd Airborne Division before attending John Carroll University in Cleveland, Ohio. Graduating in 1976 as a distinguished military graduate, his service has taken him to Italy, Germany, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Macedonia, Qatar, Iraq and, uniquely among Army leaders, to over 40 African countries in addition to a number of diverse assignments within the United States. He commanded the First Infantry Division, the legendary Big Red One, before assuming duties as director for operations on the Joint Staff at the Pentagon where he oversaw all global operations. His first four-star command was as commanding general, U.S. Army Europe. Then in 2011, he became just the second commander of United States Africa Command where he led all U.S. military activities on the African continent ranging from combat operations in Libya to hostage rescue operations in Somalia as well as training and security assistance activities across 54 complex and diverse African nations. General Ham retired in June of 2013 after nearly 38 years of service.

  • Russia's Heroes 1941–45
    152 RUSSIA’S HEROES 1941–45 Albert Axell London: Robinson Books, 2002 264 pages (nine maps, 24 photos included) ISBN: 978-1-84119-534-6 R168.00, Soft cover It is seldom that one comes across a work where history-writing and qualitative research meet succinctly. Add to this an author who communicates crisply and relates real-life narratives that capture and hold the reader’s attention. This is such a work. The author read history but did more than that. Since 1960, Axell has interviewed dozens of veterans of all genders, from soldiers to marshals, who took part in the battles on the Eastern Front. Through his reading of history, close acquaintanceship with the Soviet Union and Russian-speaking society, and multiple interviews, Axell brings the experience of the individual and group up close and personal. Although the work is entitled Russia’s Heroes, the author vividly demonstrates that war is deeply destructive and brings about more than just burning oil, dust, mud, snow, sweat and tears. Organised mass conflict is dehumanising in the extreme. The work shows that heroes are often ordinary people acting out of conviction or sheer necessity, and that villains are frequently driven not (only) by greed or creed, but by arrogance and habitually overrating their own capabilities. The Eastern Front saw more than 50 major battles, and at different times, the two sides had 8–12 million soldiers confronting one another across vast landscapes. Until the Allied landings, the numbers of Axis divisions thrown against the Soviets were 20 times greater than the divisions deployed against the Allied Forces (p.xv).

  • Tennessee Military Medic to Civilian Aemt Transition
    TENNESSEE MILITARY MEDIC TO CIVILIAN AEMT TRANSITION GAP ANALYSIS SPECIAL THANKS TO Eric McCullough, Sergeant, 68W2F, Tennessee Army National Guard David Belvins, 1Lt., 14N1, Intelligence Officer, Tennessee Air National Guard Jimmy Contreras, Civilian, Training Officer- First Call, NAEMT Instructor (All courses) Tracey Banta, Sergeant First Class, 1-169th Medevac Aviation Detachment First Sergeant, Tennessee Army National Guard (Consultant) GOAL Allow military medics to use their military training and experience for civilian Advanced EMT licensure. Providing a pathway to civilian medical licensure Employing veteran medics into the civilian workforce preserves fighting strength and clinical competence since they are able to use their military-acquired skills on a regular basis FINDINGS Military medics who currently serve or have served in the Army and the Air Force best fit the Tennessee AEMT licensure mold. Army 68W healthcare specialist, or “combat medic,” and the Air Force medical specialist occupations are certified as emergency medical technicians under the current DOT National EMS Education Standards Attend advanced training classes where they are taught advanced procedures consistent with the AEMT and paramedic scope of practice. GAPS IDENTIFIED Between a military medic and their civilian counterpart is based on patient population exposure. Trauma and limited provider care for basic injuries and illness is the main focus of military medic training and experience. Little to no experience assessing and treating the pediatric, geriatric, medically complex, or chronically-ill populations. CONCLUSION Gap analysis is sufficient to bridge these military medics to Tennessee AEMT licensure but not paramedic because the theory, practical, and clinical gap is too wide. Training is needed in assessing and treating the pediatric, geriatric, medically complex, or chronically-ill populations for successful transition to AEMT.
