RESUMO

US medical personnel serving in Ecuador analyzed how the field sanitation procedures of troops employed in Blazing Trails '87 had impact on living conditions and overall health of the troops. Such a situation allowed evaluation of USAR troop training and preparedness in field sanitation. Results indicate that field sanitation training needs to be improved at the unit level.
