          RMKS/IT IS EVIDENT THAT SOME DEPLOYED PERSONNEL EITHER HAVE NOT
          BEEN BRIEFED ON PREVENTIVE MEDICINE MEASURES OR HAVE BEEN BRIEFED
          AND ARE CHOOSING TO IGNORE SUCH INFORMATION. EXPERIENCE HAS SHOWN
          THAT HEAT-RELATED INJURY, GASTROINTESTINAL ILLNESSES AND VECTOR-
          BORNE DISEASES ACCOUNT FOR A LARGE PRECENTAGE OF MAN DAYS LOST DUE
          TO DISEASES IN THE CENTCOM THEATER. SUCH LOSSES CAN BE MINIMIZED
          THROUGH SIMPLE MEASURES INITIATED BY EACH INDIVIDUAL. THE USE OF
          LIP BALM AND SUNSCREEN; ADEQUATE CONSUMPTION OF POTABLE WATER;
          PROPER HYGIENE; AVOIDANCE OF HIGH RISK FOODS; USE OF PROPER DRESS
LANT; AND OTHER SUCH MEASURES SHOULD BE BRIEFED AND
          PERIODICALLY RE-EMPHASIZED. THE ROLE OF THE INDIVIDUAL IN CARRYING
          OUT AN EFFECTIVE PREVENTIVE MEDICINE PROGRAM CANNOT BE
          OVEREMPHASIZED.// BT
