Sanitary and Epidemiological Conditions in South Vietnam and their Consequences for the Medical Safety of the United States Army.

A Contribution to Research regarding the American System of Medical Support for Combat Troops during the Second Indochina Conflict (1965–1973)

Summary/Abstract: The war in Vietnam resulted in numerous casualties, which included troops that were wounded, injured and sick. The fate of these soldiers was determined by the efficiency of the American military medical system. The foundations and structure of the system in South Vietnam had to be created and then further expanded due to the influx of new combatants from America. One of the elements of the medical logistic structure that came under the banner of the medical system was the sanitary-epidemiological security of its military personnel and the individuals (civilians) that cooperated with the American forces. This article attempts to describe and analyze this system, especially those activities that were undertaken in the field regarding the sanitary and epidemiological protection of American troops during the conflict.
