We provide direct safety and occupational health support to acquisition programs, such as the Joint Strike Fighter (F-35) and USMC vehicle safety, as well as assisting individual programs in completing programmatic assessments for presentation to the Weapon Systems Explosives Safety Review Board (WSESRB). We also partner with other services for weapons field testing procedures and data interpretation.
From a programmatic perspective, we participate in working groups that strive to provide sailors and marines with a safer work environment. Examples include the Navy System Safety Working Group, Submarine Atmosphere Advisory Board, and the WSESRB.
Clinical guidance, including recognition, management and clinical isolation guidance are generally covered by CDC: CDC Clinical Overview
Clinical management for Fleet medical personnel can be found in the NMCFHPC Fleet Mpox Medical Guidance
Clinical guidance for MTFs can be found in the DHA Mpox Guidance Update_5Sept2024
Currently, neither mpox testing nor treatment are readily available in a forward deployed operational setting. Units should identify suspected cases, isolate them, and move them for care at an MTF when operationally feasible.
