Abstract
U.S. military medical personnel have been assigned to Honduras since August 1983. While reserve components have 2-week assignments and Air Force medics receive 3-month assignments, U.S. Army medical personnel are assigned for 6-month tours. Duties include rendering medical care and air evacuation capability to all U.S. Forces in the Central American area of operations, conducting medical civic action programs termed MEDRETES, and assisting the host government in developing and conducting a health care system for indigent rural Hondurans. Gynecological care to women soldiers assigned to this low-intensity conflict environment and gynecological surgery capability for indigent Hondurans has been one important aspect of the military medical presence.
