Summary
The purpose of this field manual (FM) is to provide
doctrine and training procedures for unit field sanitation
teams (FST). In addition, a training program in the
application of personal protective measures (PPM) is included
for personnel appointed as members of the FST for each
company, troop, or battery. This publication contains a
proposed 20-hour master training schedule which may be
adjusted as necessary; a text that may serve as reference
material for the FST instructor; and supporting illustrations
for the instructors assigned the training task. This
publication provides guidance to the commanders, unit
leaders, and soldiers for implementing unit field sanitation
and preventive medicine (PVNTMED) measures in the field. This
publication is written to further aid the commander and his
unit leaders in the continuing effort of reducing the disease
and nonbattle injury (DNBI) rates during deployments. This
publication provides information on PPM for the unit FST on
applying unit-level PPM. • Chapter 1 UNIT FIELD
