Summary "This collection of papers, written by a team of medical professionals, discuss different aspects of joint training for conducting medical operations in chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear contested environments. Without this joint service training, the authors contend, the ability of the US military to succeed in these challenging environments. The authors further contend that unless the Military Health System enacts these changes now and focuses on integrated training, the capabilities of the military medical system will be ineffective in future conflicts."--AU Press
