Soldiers face various challenges when training in field environments, whether it's sleep deprivation or the chaos of stressful events. Soldiers also face real-world challenges related to medical readiness. These challenges include maintaining physical health, managing injuries, and ensuring quick access to medical care. “Some of the most common issues we see include heat illness, respiratory illness, allergies, and wildlife interference such as snake or spider bites,” said Capt. Andrea Hook with the 7402nd Troop Medical Clinic.
