Non-Battle Injuries (NBI) represent a significant attritional threat to personnel deployed on operations. Operation (Op) GRITROCK involved personnel deployed across both land and maritime environments and was the first deployment of the Primary Casualty Receiving Facility (PCRF) on contingency operations of this type. This article outlines the incidence, demographics and functional outcome of individuals assessed for NBI by the embarked rehabilitation team. A total of 138 injured individuals were assessed over the period Oct 2014 - Mar 2015. ARGUS personnel made up 83.3% (n=115) of the injured population. Most common presentations were low back pain (LBP) (21%) and soft tissue lower limb injuries (14.5%), primarily occurring through individual sport (42.8%) or normal duty (34.8%). The Force Medical Rehabilitation Team (FMRT) effectively retained troops in theatre; although 22.5% (n=31) were considered urgent cases, only one individual required medical evacuation. 53.6% of presentations were exacerbations of a previous injury. Future work will examine the long-term outcome of these injuries.
非战斗损伤（NBI）对执行任务的人员构成了重大的减员威胁。“坚毅石行动”（Op GRITROCK）涉及部署在陆地和海洋环境中的人员，是主要伤员接收设施（PCRF）首次在这类应急行动中进行部署。本文概述了登船康复团队评估的非战斗损伤人员的发病率、人口统计学特征和功能结局。在2014年10月至2015年3月期间，共评估了138名受伤人员。ARGUS人员占受伤人群的83.3%（n = 115）。最常见的表现是腰痛（LBP）（21%）和下肢软组织损伤（14.5%），主要是通过个人运动（42.8%）或正常任务（34.8%）发生的。部队医疗康复团队（FMRT）有效地使部队留在了战区；尽管22.5%（n = 31）被视为紧急病例，但只有一人需要医疗后送。53.6%的表现是既往损伤的加重。未来的工作将研究这些损伤的长期结局。
