Field air quality must consider local industry. Field water quality is a priority. Field soil quality is a health concern.
Maintaining Soldiers' health in field conditions requires surveillance of (from left to right) air, water, and soil quality.

Our Services

Technical Assistance Visits (TAV): Didactic and practical interactions on deployment environmental surveillance techniques and procedures; sanitary control and surveillance of field water supplies, food, waste management, detainee care; entomological surveillance and pest control operations; and operational health risk management and communication. TAV duration and extent is based on unit's request.
