Abstract:
The military dermatologist has a specific and significant role in military operations--in time of war as well as in peace. Many dermatologists are unfamiliar with the impact that our specialty and cutaneous disease has upon the ability of the military to fulfill the missions, duties, and responsibilities assigned by our government. This article highlights a few of the recent or ongoing types of military operations in which our specialty plays a prominent part.
