Features of the organization of anti-epidemic measures in the troops (fleet forces) in the Far North and in the Arctic

The problem of organizing anti-epidemic measures in the Far North and the Arctic has become urgent in connection with the re-establishment of a permanent grouping of troops and fleet forces here. The formation of risks for their sanitary and epidemiological well-being is influenced by the complex of natural and climatic conditions inherent in this region, environmental features, conditions for the deployment of military personnel, transport, and logistics of military units. These circumstances determine and transform the structure and dynamics of infectious diseases, the implementation of mechanisms and factors of transmission of pathogens, the resistance of the human body, the timing, and the nature of the immune response. The article gives medical and geographical, epizootological, and epidemiological characteristics of the region. Information on factors determining the organization of anti-epidemic measures in the troops (fleet forces) is summarized.
