All active duty can get a free copy of a new book, published by the Borden Institute, which tells the story of how the US military transformed combat casualty care in Iraq and Afghanistan. Entitled Out of the Crucible, it is written by more than 100 contributing authors. Essentially, the book is a compilation of chapters, essays, figures and photographs that describe to the American public and policymakers the remarkable transformations in care devised by ingenious Military Health System (MHS) problem­ solvers during OEF/OIF. It also makes the case for why we need a strong and adaptable MHS, including education and research, to meet the challenges of the future.
