    SUBJ MEDICAL STATUS OF DEPLOYED PERSONNEL
    1. THE HEALTH OF ALL ASSIGNED PERSONNEL REMAINS GOOD, WITH THE
    MAJOR ILLNESSES BEING A FEW CASES OF MILD ACUTE GASTROENTERITIS
    AND MILD UPPER RESPIRATORY ILLNESSES. THERE HAVE BEEN TWO (2)
    SPORTS RELATED INJURIES, A FRACTURED RIGHT INDEX FINGER AND A
    THIRD DEGREE ANKLE SPRAIN. THE SPRAIN REQUIRED FOUR WEEKS, NO
    WEIGHT BEARING, AND WAS RETURNED TO BEALE VIA THE AIR EYAC SYSTEM.
    THE PATIENT WAS [(b)(6)]
    2. MALARIA IS NOT A PROBLEM IN THIS AREA OF SAUDI ARABIA AND ALL
    PERSONNEL HAVE BEEN INSTRUCTED TO DISCONTINUE THEIR CHLOROQUIN
    TABLETS. I RECOMMEND THAT ALL PERSONNEL TO BE DEPLOYED TO THIS
    LOCATION NOT BE ISSUED CHLOROQUIN.
    3. AN AIR TRANSPORTABLE HOSPITAL HAS ARRIVED AT THIS LOCATION AND
    IS BEING ERECTED. THIS WILL PROVIDE MUCH MORE COMPREHENSIVE CARE
    FOR OUR PERSONNEL, WITHOUT THE NEED FOR FREQUENT AIR EVACUATION.
    THE FLIGHT SURGEON ASSIGNED TO ASRW DEPLOYED WILL CONTINUE TO PRO-
    VIDE CARE IN THE FLIGHTLINE CLINIC THAT HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED.
    4. POC IS [(B)(2)] AT OL-CH.
