| Summary | "Health Service Support in a Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Environment" is a scientific publication written in the early 21st century. The manual provides essential doctrine, tactics, techniques, and procedures for health service support (HSS) personnel in adverse conditions involving nuclear, biological, and chemical threats. It covers a range of topics related to medical care and emergency response in high-risk environments, highlighting the complexities and challenges faced when treating casualties following such attacks. The opening of the manual sets the stage by clarifying its purpose and intended audience, including commanders and medical personnel in the field. It discusses the evolving landscape of military threats following the Cold War, noting the alarming proliferation of NBC weapons among various nations and terrorist organizations. Furthermore, it calls attention to the medical threats posed by these weapons, emphasizing the need for preparedness and effective HSS strategies to manage casualties and protect personnel during NBC incidents. This foundational overview establishes the critical role of HSS in maintaining operational effectiveness and minimizing casualties in contemporary military operations.
