            RECOMMENDATIONS




             1.  A follow-up survey to determine the health status of the Marines who

                 participated in this survey should be conducted. Despite the limitations

                 of this survey, recent concerns regarding the health status of military

                 personnel who served in the KTO suggest the value of using the information

                 gained in this survey to determine whether or not experiencing symptoms in

                 February/March 1991 is related to current health status. This cohort of

                 Marines may provide valuable information regarding the potential for long-

                 term health effects of service in the KTO.




            2.   Provisions should be made to institute preventive medicine surveillance

                 early in all future conflicts and deployments. Such surveillance is

                 valuable in monitoring the health of troops, in identifying and

                 controlling the sources of disease outbreaks and injury problems, and in

                 responding to unexpected problems such as environmental sabotage.
