Medical Support in a Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Contested Environment

This collection of papers, written by a team of USAF medical professionals, discusses aspects of joint training for conducting medical operations in chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear contested environments. A lack of joint service training, the authors contend, threatens the ability of the US military to succeed in these challenging environments. The authors further observe that unless the Military Health System enacts these changes now and focuses on integrated training, the capabilities of the military medical system will be ineffective in future conflicts.
