     as one who is wounded, injured, or affected by disease as a result of
     enemy weapons or agents. Casualty reports will be immediately passed to
     GI/D-REAR.

     Ref B, will be expeditiously reported. Medical Authorities are the only
     qualified personnel to classify patients as VSI (SMITE) or SI (GAVEL).
     Units do not make that determination.

     5. Special Interests reports (e.g. self-inflicted or accidental gunshot
     wounds, vehicular accidents resulting in hospitalization) will also be
     submitted IAW Chapter 6-2D, Ref B.

     6. These procedures will be in effect until rescinded by DA.

     7. POC is ILT Damask, 9-7663-301.
