Analysis:
- Terror
related Post-Traumatic Stress: The Israeli Experience
Both Israel and Gaza are a "perfect laboratory" for
studying Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and other anxiety
related ailments. The level of chronic anxiety here is so great
and so constant that it seems the ideal place for research on
cognitive therapy. Unfortunately, only in Israel has there been
a substantially organized effort to study these phenomena in
an orderly fashion and several trauma researches have recently
become available to the public.
- IED
Blast related Brain Injuries: The silent killer
Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) have now added a new dimension
to battlefield injuries: Injuries and even deaths among troops
who have no external signs of trauma but whose brains have been
severely damaged. The insurgency war in Iraq and Afghanistan
has reinstated one of the worst afflictions of World War I trench
warfare: shell shock.

 International
Awarded Long Awaited Order for 1200 MRAP Vehicles
The US Marine Corp Systems Command issued a new order for
the procurement of 1,200 Mine
Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP CAT I) 4x4 vehicles,
to be produced by International Military and Government
LLC (IMG) of Warrenville, Ill. This is the largest single
order for MRAP issued so far, worth slightly over $623 million.
All vehicles are scheduled for delivery by February 2008.
International is one of the largest truck manufacturer in
the US market. For the armor design the company joined forces
with Plasan Sasa from Israel, which also developed an armor
suite for IMG's MXT vehicle. Plasan has already provided
armor suites for several vehicles operated by the USMC,
including the MTVR
truck and LVSR trucks, both produced by Oshkosh. |
