MEDICAL PROTECTION FOR THE EXPEDITIONARY FORCE IN THE EVENT OF USING BIOLOGICAL AGENTS

Abstract

The ADM/CBRN military or terrorist attack is most likely to be enforced on the force deployed in the theaters of operations (TO), as peace making troops, peace keeping troops, etc. For the medical protection of the expeditionary forces deployed in external theaters of operations (T.O.), when using biological agents, we conducted a documentary study on the prophylaxis and specific treatment for the medical force protection, when using biological agents, by updating and improving the medical protection countermeasures against BWA, by anti-infective prophylaxis (antibacterial and antiviral) pre-exposure, post-exposure and anti-infective etiology and support of the vital fuctions treatment.
