USASOCIn December 2001 at the <strong>Special</strong> <strong>Operations</strong>Medical Association meeting in Tampa(www.soma.org), the USASOC surgeon's office presenteda day of lectures and discussions on unconventionalwarfare medicine entitled: "MedicalUnconventional Warfare Doctrine for the 21stCentury: Guerrilla & Resistance Medicine &Hospitals."Although we had conceived doing thismany months before 11 September 2001, it wasright on target and sort of eerie to be talking on thissubject at the same time that <strong>Special</strong> Forces teamswere DOING unconventional warfare medicine onthe ground for the first time in a long time. I wouldlike to thank all of the staff from my office thathelped write and presented the various briefs. Thebriefings and those who gave them were:1. Introduction--Mission For the Day: New Ideas,New Medical Doctrine for the 21st Century. COLWarner D. Farr2.
