Military Epidemiology

The study of the peculiarities of the epidemic process and the active influence on its course not only in troops, but also among the population surrounding the troops is discussed.
This need is described as urgent in contemporary conditions, when in the case of unleashing war, the enemy can use bacterial means of attack. Military epidemiology is viewed as a division of epidemiology and a branch of military medicine which studies the peculiarities of the course of the epidemic process in wartime, and in military groups in peacetime.
