Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book by the author presents comprehensive principles for medical care within the armed forces, specifically in military hygiene. Unlike previous authors, the author suggests hygienic measures should be equally demanded as proficiency with weapons. The author proposes that a healthy army is secured by enforcing sanitary rules, promoting discipline and rest, and ensuring the physical and mental wellbeing of soldiers. The author believes that greater care and attention to the health of troops would reduce the impact of disease. Overall, he identifies and discusses the necessity for a paradigm shift regarding military hygiene, and argues that it is of equal and perhaps greater importance as military strategy and tactics.
