Pearl Harbor Air Raid Analysis

From the years 1995 through 2003, I was an Air Force medic stationed in Germany. For the first five years I was an Airman at the 86 Aeromedical Staging Facility (ASF). Our mission at the ASF was to transport patients back and forth from the flight line as they traveled to and from their medical appointments from their assignments across Europe and sometimes over the Atlantic Ocean to various Medical Treatment Facilities (MTFs) located in the Continental United States (CONUS). Our daily operations were fairly routine and all of the technicians knew their assigned roles well whether they were driving a vehicle, transporting luggage or caring for traveling patients. ASF operations were fairly routine, even mundane, until 26 June 1996, a terrorist blew up a dorm filled with Air Force personnel in the Middle East called Khobar Towers.

“An old order . . . is now crumbling” (Doc A). This quote was taken from the Japanese novel The Way of the Subjects. It proves how aggressive and serious Japan was about creating a new rule in the world. Japan attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Pearl Harbor was an American naval base. 361 Japanese planes launched from six carriers to deliver the surprise attack. Japan attacked the naval base for three main reasons: a plan for a new world order, the United States oil embargo against them, and the United States naval fleet expansion.

December 7, 1941: Attacks on Pearl Harbor: Around November 25, the US intercepted a message of an imminent attack on US soil. In addition, Japan started to move its navy towards Hawaii. Washington’s response to this was a warning to Hawaii, indicating the anticipated attack. However, on December 7, 1941, a fleet on Japanese bombers approached Pearl Harbor with the intent to bomb the navy port. US navy ships were left defenseless as the Japanese torpedoes starting to sink them. Within two hours, US lost eight battleships, two cruisers, and more than a hundred planes. About two thousand soldiers died and one thousand were injured. As a result of this attack, President Roosevelt addressed the Congress, asking for the declaration of war. On

Do soldiers really know how to treat an injury during a war? Well in the book The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara’s 1974 novel, we are exposed to historical figures that could have treated their injuries and made them minor if they knew how to. With the medical training we have today the figures could have saved their limbs and taking care of themselves. There were three figures that were most important and had the worst injuries. Such as, Kilrain buster,chamberlain, and Robert E. Lee.

An event that shook the nation, will not bring it to its knees. Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, Hawaii and afterward, the U.S. entered the war. What reason did the Japanese have to bomb Pearl Harbor? Japan attacked Pearl Harbor because they saw the U.S. as a threat because they cut off their reasons, threatened them by moving military forces, and they stand in the way of Japan’s new order.

The Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, which will be a naval base in Hawaii. The Japanese had a clear window for that attack and the Japanese hit their target. The Japanese shouldn't buy off for bombing something that belong to us. The United States go on & now they taken to a war in full force for what Japanese did to our naval base. The Japanese was all divided in groups based on their generations and separated from Japanese citizenship I agree with the United States locking the Japanese up cause it's not fair if they did something that continue to be that terrible and not be guilty for it and just walk away.

However, the pacific front at this time was fairing no better. By the end of 1941, Britain had lost two major battleships (the HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Repulse); the Japanese launched its attack on Pearl Harbor; and the British and Canadians had suffered a major defeat with capitulation of Hong Kong. Consequently, the US and Canada were launched into war against the Pacific. The leadership of both nations became increasingly concerned that the western coast North America was exposed to Japanese attack. Suddenly there was a desperate need for a protected overland link between continental US and Alaska that served not only American, but now Canadian national security.

This chapter begins with talking about the Pearl Harbor and World War II. There was an estimation on how many people were death in World War II and it was estimated that sixty million people were death during World War II. Because of this war, many African American were forced to join in the army to fight. Not just that athletes were draft or enrolled to the service to help fight the war. People from Japanese living in the United states were sent into internment camps. Baseball was played by the Japanese in the internment camps. Women began to work in factories to help out mens that were fought in the world.

On, December 7, 1941, a date that will live in infamy, the United States of America was attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan. On this early sunday morning hundreds of Japanese fighter planes descended on the base destroying or damaging twenty American vessels including eight battleships and over three-hundred American planes. In this attack over two-thousand-four-hundred Americans lives were lost including civilians and another one-thousand wounded. A day later the United States of America declare war on Japan, entering WWll.

Amputations were the most effective and renowned surgical technique during this time period. Amputations were wildly taboo procedures that caused much controversy at the time. By some they were considered “butchery” and many questioned the military surgeons’ qualifications to perform such aberrant procedures. One doctor wrote, “The surgery of these battle-fields has been pronounced butchery. Gross misrepresentations of the medical officers have been made and scattered broadcast over the country, causing deep and heart-rending anxiety to those who had friends or relatives in the army, who might at any moment require the services of a surgeon….” Despite their contentious depictions, amputations proved to be extremely effective. As opposed to losing three fourths of their patients afflicted by gunshot wounds to blood loss and infection they now lost only one fourth of them. Amputations also proved effective in improving the lives of the afflicted soldiers. Instead of having to live

Attack in Pearl Harbor in December 1941 shocked United States to its core. It signaled not only an utter destruction of an important naval base and the loss of many lives, it in the first place signified the beginning of a great struggle for nation’s survival. At time when France fails to Germany, and Russia and Great Britain are at the verge of failing, nothing seemed to prevent the Nazi and its powerful allies to conquer the world. And though Attack in Pearl Harbor was shocking, the nightmare of expected upcoming tribulations was much greater.

The Australian nurses were granted their own administration rather than working under medical officers. Australian Nurses held the record for the maximum number of triage cases processed by a casualty station in a twenty four hour period during the battle of Passchendale. There were administered during haemostatic surgery and managed and trained medical assistants.

As the sound of the explosion pierced my ears and shook the walls of my living "shack," I knew this was not the ever familiar mortar rounds coming in. I walked outside, against standard operating procedures when under attack, and saw a huge mushroom cloud at the front gate. It was at this moment that my radio blared for all medics to report to the battalion aid station to prepare for a mass casualty situation. I knocked on the doors of my soldier's and alerted them to get to the aid station ASAP. Luckily, our sleeping areas were within a two minute walk to our make-shift emergency room. Soon after arriving, organized chaos ensued. We had been in this situation before, alerted for a mass casualty; however, never had a mass casualty situation happened that affected a large portion of our own troops. All medical personnel

The Japanese air assault on Pearl Harbor was a defining moment ever. The reasons for the assault on Pearl Harbor originated from an escalating Japanese-American competition in the Pacific. Japan 's supreme aspirations had been apparent from as right on time as 1931, when she attacked Manchuria. The vanquished region 's abundant assets were then used to supply Japan 's war machine.

There are majorly two kinds of trauma patients coming to ICU; one who are still in the phase of ongoing resuscitation coming directly from the ED or Operation Theatre [OT] after damage control surgery. Secondly there are patients who were being treated in the ward, deteriorated and then shifted to ICU. There are certain problems particularly seen in trauma patients. In this review we will try to highlight certain these problems.
