Publication AbstractsRole of the flight surgeon in fighter squadron Arctic deploymentsWalker CM, Hopkins III EWAviat Space Environ Med 1997; 68:137-41 AbstractOperational fighter squadrons frequently find themselves deployed to semi- isolated stations in the Arctic. This paper discusses the major issues necessary for flight surgeon consideration. In particular, the areas of pre-deployment planning, preparing for the worst, routine operations, and post deployment actions are discussed. A recent month-long deployment of a 12-ship squadron of F18s with support elements from Bagotville, Canada to Evenes, Norway, is examined. A proposed kit list to support a similar deployment to a semi- isolated station is provided.
