             serum globulin (ISG) from Sclavo have been tested by the Food

                          (a) During Operation Desert Ste= mission
             requirements have limited reporting of disease and nonbattle
             injuries by Army medical treatment facilities in the field.
             Theater Army disease and hospitalization data available through
             patient administration channels continues to be closely
             monitored by the OTSG Preventive Medicine Consultants Division.

             3. CURRENT SITUATION: Deployed Preventive Medicine Field Units
             at all levels have done a tremendous job in assisting the
             command to maintain high levels of field sanitation. The
             absence of major preventable disease outbreaks affecting
             military operation has been a major accomplishment during
             Operation Desert Storm. Preventive medicine personnel are now
             involved in monitoring and maintaining the health of large
             numbers of enemy prisoners of war. Planning is underway for the
             preventive medicine aspects of redeployment of U.S. forces and
             materiel back to CONUS.
