Abstract
Used for more than 2000 years in China, acupuncture is a mature but still-advancing field. The Chinese military trains its doctors to use acupuncture to prevent and treat illness as well as to treat injuries. Non-medical soldiers are trained too, to use acupuncture and related techniques in the prevention and treatment of illness within their barracks. In addition, the Chinese have trained military personnel from other countries to use acupuncture. The Chinese military also is involved in acupuncture research and academic exchanges that advance the use of acupuncture. Chinese medicine generally and acupuncture specifically also are important components of illness prevention programs for Chinese military veterans.
