Heightman. “The military, by virtue of their experience treating an extremely large number of casualties in a relatively short time period, once again has led the way in trauma care innovations and presented techniques and products that work quickly and efficiently to save lives we previously thought could not be saved.” Heightman added, “This supplement brought together experts in the field of military and civilian medicine to present new concepts, techniques and products that have proven to be lifesaving in military and tactical environments. The series of articles in the supplement illustrate why and how military and tactical medical advances should be applied to civilian EMS.” The WPA also bestowed honor on JEMS and its sister public safety products with six nominations in other categories: Best How-To Article/Trade Best News Story/Trade Best Web Publication Website/Trade Now in its 29th year of publication, JEMS is published monthly and distributed to EMS professionals worldwide.
