The 82d Airborne Division, as the Army's worldwide contingency division, places unique demands on its medical personnel. This was true particularly during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm in 1990-1991. An unprecedented emergency medical training program was carried out in preparation for the Gulf War. All levels of expertise were involved: non-medical Combat Lifesavers, medics, physician assistants, and physicians. Courses provided included Combat Lifesaver provider and refresher training, Basic Trauma Life Support (BTLS) provider and instructor training, Chemical Casualty courses, and a Combat Surgical Skills course. Approximately 736 personnel, including 80 Saudi and allied physicians and medics, participated in these courses. Confidence and competence in handling war casualties at all levels was enhanced greatly. Prepackaged courses such as BTLS enabled the rapid training of large numbers of medical personnel under challenging conditions.
作为陆军的全球应急部队，第82空降师对其医务人员提出了独特的要求。在1990 - 1991年的沙漠盾牌行动和沙漠风暴行动期间尤其如此。为海湾战争做准备，开展了一项史无前例的紧急医疗培训计划。涉及了各级专业人员：非医疗战斗救生员、医护兵、医师助理和医生。提供的课程包括战斗救生员培训与进修培训、基础创伤生命支持（BTLS）培训与教员培训、化学伤员救治课程以及战斗外科技能课程。大约736人参加了这些课程，其中包括80名沙特及盟军的医生和医护兵。各级人员在处理战争伤员方面的信心和能力都得到了极大提高。像BTLS这样的预包装课程能够在具有挑战性的条件下快速培训大量医务人员。
