A propos de cet article

ix, [1], 87, [3] pages. Footnotes. Maps. Appendixes. Illustrations/Figures. Charts. Minor page creasing/bending. The author was a Captain in the Medical Service Corps. The United States Army Medical Service Corps is an important national resource with a long and distinguished history. Precursors such as Revolutionary War apothecaries and officers of the Civil War Ambulance Corps evolved into the World War I Sanitary Corps which was established on June 30, 1917, as a temporary part of the Medical Department. During the inter-war years, it became clear that the Army needed a permanent medical ancillary organization. This led to the establishment of the Medical Administrative Corps (MAC) on 4 June 1920. These officers freed physicians for patient care responsibilities by occupying a variety of positions. These positions included replacement of the second physician in maneuver battalions.

The mission fell to Lt. Gen. Bruce Palmer, the commander of the XVIII Airborne Corps, and Maj. Gen. Robert York, commander of the 82nd Airborne Division. They initiated "Operation Power Pack" and ordered a task force comprised of U.S. Marines and the 82nd Airborne to deploy beginning on April 28. For the Army, this was the first test of the new ROAD Concept (Reorganization Objective Army Division) designed to develop flexible, deployable forces capable of responding to multiple contingencies. Ultimately, more than 40,000 U.S. troops participated in Operation Power Pack. By one year later, all American forces had left the Dominican Republic.…
