During the month o~ March, the Medical Department o~ the First Marines supported the action or the two battalions oco~ ying line JAME6TvwN rrom 10 March to 31 March inclusive. .

PecUliarities or the terrain in the Regiment's sector or .. responsibility in some cases produced prob1sme in the evacuatl9n or casualties and in non-emergent medical treatment.

Casualties reqUiring evacuation during the daylight hours were evacuated by helicopter. Cae~t1ee or lees urgent nature were held until nightfall, and evacuate!~· na ambUlance jeep. ·•

!he advent or the spring thaw and heavy rainfall reduced tra'f~icabilitY or many roads along the routes or evacuation 'for periods not in exceee.of twelve hours. Under these circumstances the use of air evacuation was increased. Armored Pereonnel Carriere were used ~requently to eTacuate oaeualtiee irom positions 'forward of the JILR as well as rrom Company level to the rear, both because or the protection they a'ftorded casua1ties, and because or their abi~ity to trarrio roads unfavorable to ambulance Jeeps.

The Battalion Surgeon o~ the Third Battalion Drought attention to the clinical picture of irritation of the heel cord in eo.e indivl.duale wearing f1eld ooote. A cumulative total for the Regiment showed seventy-'four outpatients and one evacuee to a medical company durl.ng 1953. None of the outpatients were unable to perform the1r dut1es. Control measures consisted or:

a~ ! netruot!ng pe:t1.ente to wear ol.d 1'1e1d ehoe s for a week 1 s period in 11eu of Fl.e1d Boote.
