Part of our value-added professional format series, the Treatment of Biological Warfare Agent Casualties Field Manual (FM 8-284) serves as a guide and a reference for trained members of the Armed Forces Medical Services and other medically qualified personnel on the recognition and treatment of biological warfare (BW) agent casualties. Information contained in this publication may also be relevant for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with naturally acquired diseases or illnesses due to pathogens with BW potential.

This publication classifies and describes potential BW agents; provides procedures for collecting, handling and labeling, shipping, and identifying potential BW agents; describes procedures for medical diagnosing, treating, and management of BW casualties; and describes medical management and treatment in BW operations.

The material in this publication is applicable to both the conventional battlefield and the integrated environment of the battlefield. (For the purpose of this publication, the "integrated environment" is intended to mean warfare and/or contingency operations where nuclear, biological, and chemical [NBC] weapons/agents are being employed or have a high probability of being employed in addition to conventional weapons.)

The treatment modalities contained in this manual differ from standard textbooks in that they apply to BW agent exposures. The method of exposure for most BW agents is by inhalation; whereas, the endemic disease exposure (if applicable) is by other means. Some are by ingestion, some by arthropod bites, and others by dermal contact with the agent. This does not preclude service members becoming BW casualties by these means.

This field manual has been converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction.

As a bonus, this reproduction includes FM-1, The Army Field Manual, a capstone manual containing the vision for the Army - sold separately for $5.99. FM 1 establishes the fundamental principles for employing Landpower. The most important of these are the Army's operational concept and the fundamentals that support it. They form the foundation for all Army doctrine. All Soldiers should understand and internalize them. FM 1 describes the American profession of arms, the Army's place in it, and what it means to be a professional Soldier.

This is a privately authored news service and educational publication of Progressive Management.
