Abstract：
:This paper examines the role and implementation of a casualty processing unit (CPU) developed by a multi-service group during Operation Desert Storm in Saudi Arabia. Data were obtained from review of flight manifests, fleet hospital admission records, 24-hour follow-up of patients admitted to Fleet Hospital 15, and patient chart reviews following Desert Storm. The data indicate the CPU proved to be an effective and practical approach to health care in a combat zone, and provided an increased number of returned-to-duty personnel and timely triage of most seriously wounded combatants. In addition, it provided an opportunity for medical personnel of all branches of the armed services to participate as a team. As a result of this study, we propose consideration be given to use of this type of multi-service facility in future combat arenas.
