Lt. General Schoomaker says Air Force bases provides for a fit and health force, during the House Armed Services Committee hearing on AMAP
At the House Armed Services Committee hearing on the Army’s Medical Action Plan and Other Services’ Support for Wounded Service Members, Army Surgeon General Lieutenant General Eric B. Schoomaker says it’s important to understand that Air Force bases are “operational platforms” that support war fighting capabilities. He says this provides for a fit and healthy force, and that their emphasis on fitness and prevention has led to the lowest disease and non-battle injury rate in history. Forward stabilization followed by rapid air evacuation, he says, has proven to be the gold standard in saving lives. (:50)
