Task Force 1st Armored Division (TF1AD) deployed to Baghdad and South Central Iraq from April 2003 through July 2004. TF1AD preventive medicine had responsibility for ensuring divisional force health protection, including soldier health, disease and nonbattle injury mitigation, health promotion, and civil affairs operations. Heat injury, diarrheal disease, skin and respiratory disease, and eye and musculoskeletal injury rates were high. Command emphasis and preventive medicine action resulted in better living conditions and personal sanitation. To counter the threat, the TF1AD preventive medicine/ division surgeon team used a "spiraling out" approach that focused attention first on hand-washing, potable water, vector control, waste disposal, and food sanitation and later on noise, asbestos, environmental contamination, and radiation. In April 2004, TF1AD shifted focus to the Multinational Division Central-South region of Iraq and many similar problems occurred as in May 2003, although they were less severe, in part because of the lessons learned in Baghdad.
第1装甲师特遣部队（TF1AD）于2003年4月至2004年7月部署到巴格达和伊拉克中南部。TF1AD预防医学负责确保师级部队的健康保护，包括士兵健康、疾病和非战斗损伤的缓解、健康促进以及民政行动。热损伤、腹泻病、皮肤和呼吸道疾病以及眼和肌肉骨骼损伤率很高。司令部的重视和预防医学行动带来了更好的生活条件和个人卫生状况。为应对这一威胁，TF1AD预防医学/师外科医生团队采用了一种“逐步扩展”的方法，首先将重点放在洗手、饮用水、病媒控制、废物处理和食品卫生上，随后关注噪音、石棉、环境污染和辐射。2004年4月，TF1AD将重点转移到伊拉克中南部多国师地区，许多类似2003年5月出现的问题再次出现，尽管程度较轻，部分原因是在巴格达吸取了经验教训。
