          SUBJECT:  Medical Intelligence/Preventive Medicine

          BACKGROUND:  Each medical treatment facility  is  required  to  provide  preventive
          health Tat-a for deploying forces.    Level of detail  and  contents  of  this  data
          varies greatly.

          DISCUSSION:  One handout developed and used  at  Brooks  AFB/SGPM  combines  health
          recommendations with other tips for theater survival.  Although only  one  example,
          this  information can  be  an  invaluable  aid  to  deployed  personnel.        Such
          initiatives should be encouraged.  (See Attachment)

          ACTION RECOMMENDED:-    Development  of  similar  materials  should   be   strongly
          encouraged and expanded upon.     AFR 28-4  can  be  expanded  to  include  numerous
          additional "recommended" personal mobility items.
