The irst line of medical defense in wartime is the combat

medic. Although in ancient times medics carried the cadu-

ceus into battle to signify the neutral, humanitarian nature of

their tasks, they have never been immune to the perils of

war. They have made the highest sacriices to save the lives

of others, and their dedication to the wounded soldier is

the foundation of military medical care.
