Book Description
Excerpt from A Report to the Surgeon General on the Transport of Sick and Wounded by Pack Animals The introduction of measures tending to the establishment of an ambulance system in the United States Army is of recent date;2 yet it has been acknowledged by the most competent foreign authorities,3 that toward the close of the late war our sanitary field service had attained a thorough organization; and, particularly, that the difficult problem of the speedy and comfortable trans port of the wounded from the battle-fields had been dealt with creditably, in the face of great obstacles. It would be deplorable should the efficiency of our ambulance service even relatively retrograde; but it is not to be expected that it can be kept up to the standard attained by the great military powers without constant efforts to improve the equipment, both in providing against the causes of failure revealed by experience, and by devising expedients for unusual exigencies.
