International infectious disease surveillance has been conducted by the United States (U.S.) Department of Defense (DoD) for many years and has been consolidated within the Armed Forces Health Surveillance Center, Division of Global Emerging Infections Surveillance and Response System (AFHSC-GEIS) since 1998. This includes activities that monitor the presence of antimicrobial resistance among pathogens. AFHSC-GEIS partners work within DoD military treatment facilities and collaborate with host…

The state of antimicrobial resistance surveillance in the military health system: a review of improvements made in the last 10 years and remaining surveillance gaps.
TLDR
It was determined that much progress has already been made within the Department of Defense with respect to monitoring and understanding AMR through initiatives such as the Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring and Research Program-a strong Department of Defence-wide surveillance program.
Antimicrobial resistance monitoring: a review of information resources
In the last decades, the problem of antibiotic resistance has been occupying one of the key positions in the global public health system, and it requires attention from the medical community.…
From Sea to Shining Sea: Force Health Management of Infectious Diseases in a Cross- Global Deployment Flux toward Tropical Environments
TLDR
The military will need to transition the current system of deployment planning in order to prepare for a cross-global flux of US troop deployment resulting in in distribution to more tropical locations, and execution of this transition will provide for optimal force health management and protection for American warfighters across the globe.

Changes in the Incidences of Multidrug-Resistant and Extensively Drug-Resistant Organisms Isolated in a Military Medical Center
TLDR
The percentage of MDR A. baumannii isolates increased in this facility among combat casualties and among local patients, which indicates nosocomial transmission; however, there was no significant increase in the percentage ofMDR P. aeruginosa isolates.
Recovery of multidrug-resistant bacteria from combat personnel evacuated from Iraq and Afghanistan at a single military treatment facility.
TLDR
Despite aggressive infection control procedures, there is continued nosocomial transmission within the facility and increasing antimicrobial resistance in some pathogens, suggesting novel techniques are needed to control the impact of MDR bacteria in medical facilities.
Genotypic and Phenotypic Correlations of Multidrug-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii-A. calcoaceticus Complex Strains Isolated from Patients at the National Naval Medical Center
TLDR
PCR and sequencing analysis of 102 ABC isolates from 59 wounded soldiers returning from Iraq and treated at the National Naval Medical Center (NNMC) determined that the imipenem resistance gene was a globally spread blaOXA-23 gene.

TLDR
There appears to be possible variability in susceptibility to some antimicrobial agents among strains, suggesting that more extensive testing to look for geographic variability should be pursued.
