APPENDIX I:
Deployed Personnel’s Guide to Health Maintenance
DoD-prescribed immunizations and medications, including birth control
pills, should be brought in sufficient quantity for deployment’s duration.
Only food, water, and ice from approved U.S. military sources should
be consumed. Consuming food or water from unapproved sources may
cause illness. Food should be thoroughly cooked and served hot.
Thorough hand-washing before eating and after using the latrine is
highly recommended, as is regular bathing. Feet should be kept dry and
treated with antifungal powder. Socks and underwear should be changed
daily; underwear should fit loosely and be made of cotton fiber.
Excessive heat and sunlight exposure should be minimized. Maintaining
hydration is important, as are following work-rest cycles and wearing
uniforms properly. Sunglasses, sunscreen (SPF 15 or higher), and lip
balm are recommended. Drinking alcohol should be avoided. Personnel
with previous heat injuries should be closely monitored.
Uniforms should be worn properly (blouse boots). DEET should be
applied to exposed skin and uniforms treated with permethrin; per-
methrin is not intended for use on skin. Proper treatment and wear of
uniform, plus application of DEET to exposed skin, decreases the risk of
diseases transmitted by biting insects.
Overcrowded living areas should be avoided. Ventilated living areas and
avoiding coughing or sneezing toward others will reduce colds and
other respiratory infections. Cots or sleeping bags should be arranged
“head to toe” to avoid the face-to-face contact that spreads germs.
Contact with animals is not recommended. Animals should not be kept
as mascots. Cats, dogs, and other animals can transmit disease. Food
should not be kept in living areas as it attracts rodents and insects, and
trash should be disposed of properly.
I-1
Hazardous snakes, plants, spiders, and other insects and arthropods such as scorpions, centipedes, ants, bees, wasps, and flies should be avoided.
Those bitten or stung should contact U.S. medical personnel.
All sexual contact should be avoided. Properly used condoms offer some
protection from sexually transmitted diseases but not full protection.
Stress and fatigue can be minimized by maintaining physical fitness,
staying informed, and sleeping when the mission and safety permits.
Alcohol should be avoided as it causes dehydration, contributes to jet
lag, can lead to depression, and decreases physical and mental readi-
ness. Separation anxiety, continuous operations, changing conditions,
and the observation of human suffering will intensify stress. Assistance
from medical personnel or chaplains is available.
Additional Information
Water
If unapproved water, as found in many lakes, rivers, streams, and city
water supplies must be used in an emergency, the water may be disin-
fected by:
■ Adding calcium hypochlorite at 5.0 ppm for 30 minutes;
■ Adding Chlor-Floc or iodine tablets according to label instructions;
■ Heating water to a rolling boil for 5 to 10 minutes; or
■ Adding 2 to 4 drops of ordinary chlorine bleach per quart of water
and waiting 30 minutes before using it.
Either U.S. military preventive medicine or veterinary personnel should
inspect bottled water supplies. Bottled water does not guarantee purity;
direct sunlight on bottled water supplies may promote bacterial growth.
Water in canals, lakes, rivers, and streams is likely contaminated; unnec-
essary bathing, swimming, and wading should be avoided. If the tactical
situation requires entering bodies of water, all exposed skin should be
covered to protect from parasites. Following exposure, it is important to
dry vigorously and change clothing.
I-2
Rodents
Rodents should not be tolerated in the unit area; they can spread serious
illness. Diseases may be contracted through rodent bites or scratches,
transmitted by insects carried on rodents (such as fleas, ticks, or mites),
or by contamination of food from rodent nesting or feeding. Personnel
can minimize the risk of disease caused by rodents by:
■ Maintaining a high state of sanitation throughout the unit area;
■ Sealing openings 1/4 inch or greater to prevent rodents from entering
unit areas;
■ Avoiding inhalation of dust when cleaning previously unoccupied
areas (mist these areas with water prior to sweeping; when possible,
disinfect area using 3 ounces of liquid bleach per 1 gallon of water).
■ Promptly removing dead rodents. Personnel should use disposable
gloves or plastic bags over the hands when handling any dead animal
and place the dead rodent/animal into a plastic bag prior to disposal.
■ Seeking immediate attention if bitten or scratched by a rodent or if
experiencing difficulty breathing or flu-like symptoms.
Insects
Exposure to harmful insects, ticks, and other pests is a year-round,
worldwide risk. The following protective measures reduce the risk of
insect and tick bites:
■ Use DoD-approved insect repellents properly;
■ Apply DEET on all exposed skin;
■ Apply permethrin on clothing and bed nets;
■ Tuck bed net under bedding; use bed net pole;
■ Avoid exposure to living or dead animals;
■ Regularly check for ticks;
■ Discourage pests by disposing of trash properly; eliminate food stor-
age in living areas; and
■ Cover exposed skin by keeping sleeves rolled down when possible,
