In the U.S. Army, motor vehicle crashes (MVCs), both privately owned and military, are a leading cause of injury and death. Few studies have described the distribution and trends of MVCs among Army personnel, which may have been impacted by current military missions. This descriptive study of risk factors and select outcomes is from safety report data maintained by the U.S. Army Combat Readiness/Safety Center on 11,469 active duty Army personnel involved in MVCs, 1999-2006. The majority (66%) of Soldiers in MVCs were in military vehicles within the continental United States (68%). The average age of individuals involved in MVCs was 27.7 years old. Males had a consistently higher MVC rate than females. The average cost per MVC related to property damage and injuries was $36,039 and $24,038, respectively. Results suggest a need for additional exploration of MVCs involving Army vehicles, which were the most common and among the most costly.
在美国陆军中，无论是私人车辆还是军车发生的机动车碰撞事故（MVC），都是导致伤亡的主要原因。很少有研究描述陆军人员中机动车碰撞事故的分布情况和趋势，而这些情况可能受到当前军事任务的影响。这项关于风险因素和特定结果的描述性研究，数据来源于美国陆军作战准备/安全中心保存的安全报告，涉及1999年至2006年期间参与机动车碰撞事故的11469名现役陆军人员。在机动车碰撞事故中，大多数士兵（66%）是在美国本土驾驶军车（占68%）。参与机动车碰撞事故的人员平均年龄为27.7岁。男性的机动车碰撞事故发生率一直高于女性。每起机动车碰撞事故中，与财产损失和人员伤亡相关的平均费用分别为36039美元和24038美元。结果表明，需要对涉及陆军车辆的机动车碰撞事故进行更多的探索，因为这类事故最为常见且成本最高。
