( a ” Chapter 7 - Medical Task Group 7.2 was responsible for providing medical attention to Task Group 7.); personnel and was manned with sufficient doctors to do this job well. By and large the command remained extremely healthful through- out the exercise. We had no epidemics. The majority of the cases treated fell into one of three groups, i. e. a. Superficial skin infections. b. Upper respiratory infections. c. Minor injuries. Medical szrvices to Task Group 7.l, personnel on outlying islands were provided by the assignment to each of a medical technician, plus occasional visits by Task Group 7.2 doctors and the Task Group 7.4 Flight Surgeon. Because we had a large number of flying personnel engaged in diversificd: = flying activities, Task Group 7.l) had assigned to it a Flight Surgeon from March 1950 to the completion of the exercise. He was provided with an office in one of our operations buildings and was very effective’ in taking care of medical problems for our flying personnel. His activities were somewhat handicapped by lack of medical technicians; we recommend that medical technicians be provided for future operations of this nature. From time to time during the exercise medical services were provided in emergency situations on outlying islands where we maintained detachnnts. These s:rvices were provided to both military and indigenous personnel and included diagnosis, treatment and/or evacuation. Outstanding among these events were: a. Evacuation of two caSes of acute appendicitis. b. Evacvation of a suspected case of smallpox. ce Evacuation of a case of multiple fractures in a boy who had fallen from a tree. d. Evacuation of a case yith a huge abscess in his right flank. COPIED/DOE LANL RC a/
