Excerpt from The Principles of Sanitary Tactics: A Handbook on the Use of Medical Department Detachments and Organizations in Campaign On the Organization of the Sanitary Service With Fighting Troops. As prerequisite to the employment of sanitary tactics, it is essential that sanitary organizations shall exist. These latter, as compared with organizations for fighting purposes. Are of comparatively recent development.

Impelled by these considerations to make provisions for the care of their wounded, commanders soon came to find that these could be turned to good account from the tactical standpoint.
