          4. Medical


               Preparations for deployment to Operation Desert Shield began
          in August 1990 and consisted of updating immunizations (including
          Influenza and immune globulin), digesting medical reports, re-
          viewing all Marines and Sailors in the Battalion for deployabili-
          ty, increasing corpsman training in combat casualty treatment
          skills, procuring medical supplies (AMALS, NBC medicines, special
          antibiotics), assimilating five augmented corpsmen into the
          Battalion and providing preventative medicine lectures to the
          Battalion.
               Upon arrival to Saudia Arabia and after guidance from llth
          Marine's Regimental Surgeon and 15t Marine Divi5ion's Surgeon,
          preparations continued. Further NBC medicines were obtained
          including NAP (Pyridostiginine), Ciproflaxocin, and CANA (Valium)
          and appropriate training was given in their purpose and proper
          use. Also, liason was made between supporting FSSG units, par-
          ticularly Collecting and Clearing Companies. Corpsman training
          continued with emphasis on battle casualty treatment, I.V. place-
          ment, narcotics use, safe transportation procedures and NBC
          casualty treatment.
s were conducted prior to the initia-
          tion of ground offensive operations. Drills were initially done
          at the battery level to exercise marine buddy first aid, corpsman
          stabilization and command, communication and transportation
          skills. The drills were then expanded to include the entire
          Battalion and finally contaminated casualties. A total of three
          drills per battery were conducted initially. A Battlion wide
          mass casualty drill (15 patients) and then a combined contamichat@--
          ed and conventional Battalion wide drill (14 patients) were later
          conducted. A dramatic improvement in every phase of casualty
          care and transportation was realized as a result of these drills.
               Additional corp5men were requested from llth Marines shortly
          after our arrival in country. On G-3, three additional corpsmen
          were received TAD from other llth Marine units to augment our
          wartime capability. The Battalion Aid Station (BAS) provided
          constant routine and emergency medical care to the Marines and
          5ailQr5 Of the Battalion. A summary of our activities follow:
