In this case, a squad is usually assigned, which includes a paramedic and several orderlies with gigs to work in close proximity to the line of fire.
During hot battles, dressing and feeding stations for transport are located near regimental quarters and carry out the same work. Freight transport, the formation of which had begun even before the evacuation of Lviv, was now significantly increased. The number of carts in the first and second transports was increased to 100, and in the third to 75. Thanks to this, transports can transport large quantities of cargo sent to the front, and greatly facilitate the supply of the advanced squadrons of the Armed Forces with the necessary supplies.
The number of advance detachments of the Southwestern Front Committee did not increase during this period. The Twentieth Black Sea Detachment, formed at the end of the Galician period, came under brutal machine-gun and shrapnel fire during the withdrawal of Russian troops. Of the eighty-four people who were part of the detachment, 42 were saved, the rest disappeared without recovery. At the end of August, the Otdfl began forming a new detachment to replace those who died and completed this work in the second half of October.
When Lvov was evacuated, the Tenth and Fifteenth detachments of the VMStV Committee with the military units they served went over to the Western Front. The Tenth Detachment has now returned back, and the Fifteenth continues to work on the Western Front.
The activities of the Medical and Sanitary Department developed significantly during this period. Carrying out the plan developed by the committee in January and April 1915, Otdil not only increased the number of ranfe institutions created, but also took on some new functions.
Before the evacuation of Lvov, only a few epidemic detachments worked on the Southwestern Front. At the end of late summer and early autumn, when the number of epidemic cases increased significantly, it was decided to form as many epidemic squads as possible. The number of epidemic squads began to grow rapidly: by August 1 there were 12 of them, a month later 25, and in January - 35.
Most of your work needed to be done on the bacteriological front
For accurate and timely identification of epidemic laboratories. In Šol, 7 such laboratories were opened, by the first of February their number increased to 15. In August, in Otdzlom | began the planned organization of safety | vaccinations against typhoid and cholera.
The Committee, at the suggestion of the Department of Evil, convened in August 1915 a meeting of bacteriologists and heads of Russian bacteriological institutes; It was also attended by representatives of military-sanitary institutions of the entire front, headed by the Chief of the Sanitary Unit. The Congress organized the organization of vaccinations in the army and, having established uniform standards for the production of vaccines, distributed the number of vaccinations among all scientific institutes. naked material that they had to make for the Tsfli, and supply the army. After the congress, vaccine production was widespread | provided by institutions, and there is currently no shortage of it. The organization of vaccinations, started with $zdom, entered the |
Life not only on the South-Western Front, but almost the same type of life is carried out on other fronts as well.
Finally, partly in view of the same fight against diseases, |
The Medical and Sanitary Department decided to begin organizing baths for the front. During the first period of the Union's work, a number of bathhouses were opened, but they were all of the stationary type. When moving | no troops, these baths had to remain on site, and therefore | it was inconvenient to arrange them in close proximity to the zishchiam, although there the lack of baths was especially sensitive.
Now the Medical and Sanitary Department decided to send to the front | several bath units, equipped so that you can | It was possible to arrange baths in any village, near the advanced positions, in a very short time. Each bath detachment must serve one corps of the active army and for this purpose it arranges baths at several points: regimental, at the headquarters of the corps and division, at the bakery. In order for the squad to easily transfer | to move when troops move, the bathhouse equipment is selected so that it can be placed on one cart.
At the bathhouse, the detachment has laundry facilities, in which about 3 thousand pieces of linen can be washed per day.
In the baths, clean linen is issued instead of dirty linen, and in view of the fact that soldiers often end up with completely torn linen, the supply of linen for the detachment is constantly replenished.
