While Alexander Fleming’s antibiotics and the practice of vaccinations often get the limelight, the banal everyday habit of personal hygiene is just as vital to our health, regardless if you are wrapped up warm in blankets at home or covered in less warm blankets of mud on the battlefield. Here we take a look at the essentials often preached to U.S. soldiers in the present day. While hygiene has been discussed since people cared about how they looked, the methods of staying clean and healthy have varied dramatically throughout time. Learn of modern soldiers’ responsibilities, daily routines, their focus on sanitation, all of which have been meticulously detailed to keep fighters on the field instead of under them.
