One of the most important components of preparing and conducting military (convencional) and peace support operations is the support of the operations, and it's effectiveness is highly affected by the distance of the supporting forces and equipments from the forces which are participating in the actual operation. In favor of the supporting forces, equipments and services' effective availability, we can create military objects and camps outside the garrison's area for the housing of the units providing the life – and working conditions for them. The defence level of a military camp depends on various factors, and that level can be different within the limits of the camp, and it has strong connections with the camp's physical defence and it's reinforcement. My aim is to provide a short overview about the opportunities of the military camp's physical defences.
• There will be no army nurses from any of the military camps coming to the aid of the medical professional at the Greendale emergency hospital• Mayor Pehr G. Holmes received a telegram from Washington signed by Dr. Richard, acting surgeon-general of the United States Army indicating no help would be forthcoming from the military camps• Dr. Richards did suggest that the mayor request assistance from the laymen nurses employed during emergencies for assistance in Worcester• City hall received a telegram indicating nurses are in great demand for overseas work in France, and domestically• Despite being bedridden himself, Mayor Holmes and his office staff are working to make sure the telegraph and telegram are kept busy requesting assistance to help stamp out influenza in the city at the earliest possible date• The board of health expressed satisfaction with checking the disease and the fortune of good weather• Health officer James C. Coffey advised Worcester was hit rather light in comparison to other towns and cities including Boston where the disease is twice to three times as severe• Mr. Coffey adds that the number of cases reported does not necessarily mean cases are increasing, as many are previously unreported • Yesterday there were 352 cases of influenza reported at the board of health• Health officials state it is impossible to determine the exact number of cases at this time as physicians have not reported all cases as of October 4th• The board of health will not make a decision as to extend or close the ban on public places until the end of the week when it is hoped the situation has improved• At this time, there is scrutiny on the appearance and cleanliness of the Worcester trolleys, but general manager Page insists the cars are fumigated nightly and work is impeded by the high number of sick employees • Wholesale rumshops report increased numbers due to the ban on saloons ; Newspaper article ; 18
Background: Simultaneous acute gastroenteritis (AGE) outbreaks occurred at two military camps. This study details the epidemiological findings, explores possible origins, and discusses preventive measures. Methods: Investigations included attack rate surveys, symptom surveys, hygiene inspections, and the testing of water, food, and stool samples. DNA/RNA was extracted from stool samples and amplified via real-time reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR). Partial and full-length capsid nucleotide sequences were obtained, phylogenetic relationships inferred, and homology modelling of antigenic sites performed. Results: The military outbreaks involved 775 persons and were preceded by two AGE outbreaks at restaurants in the local community. The outbreak was longer and larger in the bigger camp (21 days, attack rate 15.0%) than the smaller camp (6 days, attack rate 8.3%). Of 198 stool samples, norovirus GI.2 was detected in 32.5% (larger camp) and 28.6% (smaller camp). These were essentially identical to preceding community outbreaks. Antigenic site homology modelling also showed differences between identified and more common AGE outbreak strains (norovirus GII.4). Conclusion: Differences observed highlight difficulties in controlling person-to-person outbreaks among large groups in close proximity (e.g., military trainees). Distinct differences in antigenic sites may have contributed to increased immunological susceptibility of the soldiers to infection. ; Published version
Knowing the immense physical and psychological distress that military personnel undergo, it is almost impossible not talk about its adverse psychological consequences, particularly in the context of the mental health profession. Resilience, optimism, and self-esteem are just among the many factors that frequent the discussion about the effects of adverse situations. According to Fergus and Zimmerman's Resilience Theory (2005), individuals possess innate traits such as resilience, that allow them to withstand distress, highlighting the predictive application of self-esteem and optimism for resilience. Mental health awareness has likewise risen in the Philippines, shedding more light on mental health issues that were previously considered to be too shallow and usually dismissed. As such, utilizing a predictive non-experimental research design, this present study aimed to determine whether self-esteem and optimism can predict resilience among 360 military personnel in activity duty. Military personnel from military camps who were selected using a non-probability technique completed a test battery consisting of three scales to measure the variables: Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, Life Orientation Test-Revised (LOT-R), and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). Significant results revealed that a relationship exists among the research variables and that self-esteem and optimism predicts resilience among the present study's selected active duty military personnel in military camps

It is generally accepted that the lack of free public spaces in Greek cities, is one of the most severe urban planning problems, not only in the central urban areas but also in the peripheral neighbourhoods. Furthermore, it is a fact that through the land use legal framework there have been efforts towards the implementation of a number of planning tools, regulations, thresholds, methods etc in order to obtain and secure an appropriate level of acceptable urban public space mainly for parks, playgrounds and squares, which would ensure at least a minimal level of essential (sustainable) free urban public space. The reality has shown that this effort has not been successful until today. The provision, the quality and the spatial distribution of public space in Greek cities, cannot correspond to the continuously increasing needs and wishes of citizens. This is probably the most serious weakness of the Greek urban planning system, because it cannot achieve the objectives of urban sustainability. In this manner and specifically for some cities, military camps that exist and occupy vital space in the urban tissue, present a new challenge for "liberating" this space and providing new quality to the urban environment. The present paper presents a case study in which, proposals are formulated for the transformation of "brown" space occupied by military camps, to urban free space, useful for the adjacent neighbourhoods, as well as for the city of Alexandroupolis in general. The importance of the proposal also lies in the fact that this transformation will take in account the present rigid and complex legal and institutional framework, having, thus, the elements of a pilot intervention. The basic approach is based on the principle that military camps are public land, and can be used in the formulation of a regeneration policy. Critical elements of the approach are the assessment of benefit that the transformation of this space will bring to the city, the allocation of the benefits to the neighbourhoods, the effectiveness of spatial integration of the new space in the existing urban structure, and the absolute protection of public space in the whole city.
The aim of this paper is to compile and analyse Assyrian military camps depicted in the reliefs of Imgur-Enlil. This study enables the reconstruction of the main architectural features of the camps, as well as to notice the evolution in their design and the existence of ties of dependence between some of them. ; El objetivo del presente artículo es el de recopilar y analizar el conjunto de campamentos militares asirios representados en los relieves de Imgur-Enlil.

As part of a continuous, standardized programme of monitoring the Leishmania vectors in German military camps in northern Afghanistan between 2007 and 2009, a detailed taxonomic analysis of the endemic sandfly fauna, as sampled using light and odour-baited traps, was conducted. Of the 10 sandfly species that were recorded, six may serve as enzootic and/or zooanthroponotic vectors of parasites causing human leishmaniasis.
