As an account of the programs developed in the Zone of Interior to train Medical Department personnel to operate fixed medical installations and field units, it focuses on the organization and administration of training, changes in scope and emphasis, the development of doctrine and technique, and responses to personnel and supply problems. In this book, training is considered in the context of the Army and the Medical Department over the period from 1938 to 1945, providing a unified picture of Medical Department training efforts. The training volume itself has a long and complex history. Work on the project began during World War II, when the Office of The Surgeon General was directed to prepare a manuscript history of its training activities to serve as source material for a projected history of training under the Army Service Forces. Under the supervision of Lt. Samuel M. Goodman, MAC, AUS, several young officers at the Office of The Surgeon General were assigned to the project, and by the end of the war, these officers completed a 10-volume manuscript encompassing all phases of Medical Department training conducted under the jurisdiction of the Army Service Forces. Although these studies were of uneven value, they served as the foundation for all subsequent versions of the training volume. The project was finally assigned to Capt. Robert J. Parks, MSC, AUS. Using as guidelines valuable suggestions made by the Office of the Chief of Military History, Department of the Army, he completed a stylistic, organizational, and substantive revision of the training volume, making maximum use of all previous versions of the manuscript. If any one individual were to be singled out as author, it would have to be Captain Parks.
