          CONCLUSION

               Although this study does not have all of the advantages of a
          large study, it does offer a number of unique opportunities. The
          fact that a signficant number of members and former members of
          RNMCB 24 are having post-ODSS symptoms insures a significant number
          of cases.   The fact that these are reservists results in their
          having less mobility than an active duty population. Finally, the
          proximity and relatively small numbers allow a greater degree of
          potential contact and observation of the study subjects.

               In view of these factors, a study of this nature can be very
          successful in helping to answer some of the questions surrounding
          the PGMI.   However, in order for this study to be successfully
          implemented, it will be necessary to have a high level of
          cooperation from the VA and for staff augmentation to occur at
          NEPMU2.
