A tour of 4 months with a static Field Surgical Team supporting military operations is described. Some of the problems of resuscitation and anaesthesia which were encountered are discussed. The anaesthetist's training in intensive care and the management of acute medical problems have a major part to play in a field hospital particularly in an isolated area. The management of coagulation disorders remains a major problem.
