Military Ergonomics is a name I made up when the Commander at the US Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine (USARIEM) told me 'The Surgeon General wants to give you a Research Division of your own.' I demurred, saying 'That would make me an Administrator, and I prefer research,' but the C.O. (who was a friend) insisted, saying that what I wanted had no impact on what the General wanted and I had to become the Director of either the Heat, Cold, Work, or Altitude Divisions. Thinking fast, I said 'I want the "Military Ergonomics Division" ', and when he asked 'What's that?' I said 'That's good- it means I can continue my studies on the effects of heat, cold, terrain, load carried, clothing, food, & water intake on troops.'
军事人体工程学是我在美国陆军环境医学研究所(USARIEM)指挥官告诉我“军医局局长想给你一个自己的研究部门”时想出来的名字。我表示反对,说“那会让我成为一名管理人员,而我更喜欢做研究”,但指挥官(他是我的朋友)坚持说,我想要的对局长的想法没有影响,我必须成为热、冷、工作或高原部门的主任。我灵机一动,说“我想要‘军事人体工程学部门’”,当他问“那是什么?”时,我说“这很好——这意味着我可以继续研究热、冷、地形、负重、服装、食物和水的摄入对部队的影响”。
