REPORTS 103 Compliance with malaria chemoprophylaxis in ASPFOR XXXIII Arcos Sánchez C., Salinas Vela FT. SUMMARY: Malaria in Afghanistan is an endemic disease in all areas lower than 2000 meters. In the XXI century it remains a threat to troops in combat zone despite the availability of effective drug prevention and keep out biting insects measures, as the most effective ones, it is necessary a higher effort to get a bigger and better observance of the chemoprophylaxis. KEYWORDS: Malaria, Chemoprophylaxis. 109 Multinational military medical support Chereguini Pavón E., Blasco Ferrándiz R. SUMMARY: Medical support is a significant capability to activate in conventional military operations, but even more in current and future operations. The provision of sufficient medical support to military operations is critical and deficiencies in deployable medical capabilities have been a force limiter for multinational military joint operations. In addition to lack of common procurements projects, availability of medical personnel is also a common concern that severely affects the feasibility of deploying, and sustaining Medical Treatment Facilities (MTF), ROLE 2/3 capable for prolonged periods. These are the reasons why International Organizations (UE&NATO) are currently working on projects of Pooling and Sharing in order to standardizing national medical capabilities and to achieve a high level of multinational interoperability so that different functional medical means (structures, equipments, personnel, procedures…) can be integrated within the framework structure of a Multinational Medical Treatment Facility (MMTF).

HISTORY AND HUMANITIES 119 Legal and administrative requirements for the sequencing of the human genome in the military context Bobo-Ruiz J. SUMMARY: Genomics leads to new legal issues in addition to deepening those already raised from Molecular Genetics. The whole-genome sequencing of the human genome has evolved from economic efforts requiring a national consortium to be affordable for the average citizen. This revolutionary change also affects the administrations requiring a rethinking of the legal status of the databases for biomedical research and police DNA databases and its possible development in the military field. The same happens with biobanks associated with them. The restrictions imposed by international treaties on genomic research purposes should not obscure the broad roles of hosts in the more general framework of National Defence. The conditions that would allow genetic databases and biobanks in this context are discussed here under the new potential of the Genomics, trying to articulate its legal regime with the current national law. KEY WORDS: Genomics. Military Databases. Military Biobanks. International Law. Biomedical Research Spanish Act. 125 The stranger autogiro ambulance 1933, a Spanish innovation predecessor in a decade to the first use of medical helicopter González Canomanuel MA SUMMARY: The medical helicopter has revolutionized patient transport. It is the only means of escape leading healthcare where the sick, transferring it to quickly and easily without relying on roads or facilities. The Spanish participation in the creation of “rotary wing aircraft” for sanitary use, which the helicopter belongs, is unknown to the vast majority of profes-sionals working in this sector never having been published. In 1920 the Spanish Juan de la Cierva and Codorniú invented the “autogiro” revolutionizing the way to fly and solving the problems of low speed flight. This device solved the limitation that health had fixed wing aircraft to pick up wounded by the need of a field ready for takeoff or landing. They were doctors, engi-neers and Spanish aviators who realized the possibilities in healthcare application of autogiro promoting their use in multiple forums since 1929. Juan de la Cierva own thought in health application of his invention and it is already used in 30 years for this purpose. The project gyroplane ambulance dates from 1933 describing the health modifying a four-seat gyroplane PA-19 Pitcairn Autogiro Company. The Spanish healthcare innovation autogyro forward in more than a decade to taken first use of a rotary wing aircraft for domestic use in 1944.
