OPERATION BUSHMASTER is a field training exercise FTX conducted at Fort Indiatown Gap Pennsylvania. During this exercise senior USU medical students Graduate Nursing students and international military medical officers are formally evaluated on their medical knowledge and leadership abilities in a simulated resource constrained far forward tactical field setting. Students assume leadership positions in a joint battalion aid station where they are presented with operationally current reality based missions and operational problems for which they must plan and execute while simultaneously managing the medical care of simulated Disease and Non-Battle Injury DNBI patients combat stress casualties and combat trauma casualties. Before "Operation Bushmaster" students go through a two-week military contingency medicine course during which they are presented operational problems and receive pre-deployment training just as they would prior to a real deployment. This classroom phase includes lectures and is focused on team building. The students become a cohesive unit as they prepare to deploy to a fictional country facing challenges from rebel forces. Divided into two groups the students were sent sequentially to spend four days at this large National Guard base nestled in the mountains just north of Hershey Pennsylvania. They were assigned to one of four platoons - all undergoing identical scenarios planning and executing missions while simultaneously caring for a variety of casualties ranging in severity from fatigue to gunshot wounds. The exercise featured nearly 1000 encounters with simulated patients. While patient care is a large part of their training leadership communication skills and logistics are just as important. Students were assigned various roles during the exercise such as patient administrator triage officer medical logistics or litter bearers transporting patients. They frequently rotated positions allowing every student to practice each role. The students also were graded on how well they performed key positions including platoon leader ambulance team leader surgeon and combat stress control officer. They were graded on a number of factors such as communication and leadership skills as they were observed by more than 60 faculty members from Uniformed Services University as well as from across the country.

This is an application package for transitional grants to local educational agencies if they met eligibility requirements that were outlined in the regulations issued in connection with the Indochina Migration and Refugee Assistance Act. It was possible to recieve up to $600 per refugee student admitted into the local school district. From Wikipedia: "The Indochina Migration and Refugee Assistance Act passed on May 23 1975 under President Gerald Ford was a response to the Fall of Saigon and the end of the Vietnam War. Under this act approximately 130 000 refugees from South Vietnam Laos and Cambodia were allowed to enter the United States under a special status and the act allotted for special relocation aid and financial assistance. The end of the Vietnam War left millions of Southeast Asians displaced. In South Vietnam alone the war had created over 6 million refugees from 1965 to 1971. Preceding May 1975 the United States policy for Southeast Asian refugee had been to assist by resettling them in safer areas of their home nations. As the war began to come to a close in early 1975 the State Department prepared an evacuation plan for U.S. forces as well as 18000 Vietnamese refugees but it quickly became apparent that this evacuation plan did not meet the incredible need of the refugees. When the South Vietnam government rapidly deteriorated in April 1975 President Ford authorized an evacuation of up to 200000 refugees. The Indochina Migration and Refugee Act was enacted on May 23 1975 and allocated funding for the evacuation and resettlement of Vietnamese refugees in the United States. Because of this act the 65 000 Vietnamese who had been evacuated by the U.S. military and an additional 65 000 who had made their way to the U.S. on their own gained parole into the United States. To process the refugees four temporary immigration centers were set up at Eglin Air Force Base Florida; Camp Pendleton California; Fort Chaffee Arkansas; and Fort Indiantown Gap Pennsylvania. Each refugee underwent a security check and could be denied admittance if he or she violated a social norm had a criminal record or had offenses that were political in nature. A team effort of dozens of immigration agencies aided in the resettlement process of those who made it past the screening including the United States Catholic Conference Church World Service International Rescue Committee Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society the Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services the Tolstoy Foundation the American Council for Nationalities Service the American Fund for Czechoslovak Refugees the Travelers Aid International Social Service of America as well as several state and city service centers. 3 In 1975 almost 130 000 refugees were paroled through this system which finished its initial operations at Fort Chaffee in December of that same year. 4 While the first year of the Act had come to a close it opened the doors for years of mass refugee acceptance. Although many politicians thought it appropriate and necessary for the United States to provide a safe haven for those denied their human rights some questioned the fairness of the Indochina Migration and Refugee Act for several reasons. Some mostly conservative republicans argued that the refugees would never be able to assimilate to American culture and would detract from the value system already in place. Other legislators like Representative Frank Sensenbrenner were concerned with the price tag of committing so many immigrants roughly $1 billion per year especially in a time of rising unemployment. 5 While many refugees were receiving financial assistance economic success did not come easily and this usurpation of federal funding became an issue that not only lawmakers were paying attention too but also the American public. Another group of opponents focused on the growing need of. United States, Department of Health, Education and Welfare paperback

"To be eligible for officer candidate school women had to be aged 20 to 49 and possess a college degree or have two years of college and two years of equivalent professional or business experience. Volunteers at the enlisted level had to be aged 20 to 35 and possess a high school or a business diploma or have equivalent experience. The WAVES were primarily white but 72 African-American women eventually served. The Navy's training of most WAVE officer candidates took place at Smith College Northampton Massachusetts. Specialized training for officers was conducted on several college campuses and naval facilities. Most enlisted members received recruit training at Hunter College in the Bronx New York City. After recruit training some women attended specialized training courses on college campuses and at naval facilities. The WAVES served at 900 stations in the United States. The territory of Hawaii was the only overseas station where their staff was assigned. Many female officers entered fields previously held by men such as medicine and engineering. Enlisted women served in jobs from clerical to parachute riggers. Many women experienced workplace hostility from their male counterparts. The Navy's lack of clear-cut policies early on was the source of many of the difficulties. The WAVES' peak strength was 86291 members. Upon demobilization of the officer and enlisted members Secretary of the Navy James Forrestal Fleet Admiral Ernest King and Fleet Admiral Chester Nimitz all commended the WAVES for their contributions to the war effort.
