Environmental Science Section - Field Sanitation Team

Field Sanitation Team (FST) Member Requirements:

A FST team must consist of at least two personnel, and one must be a noncommissioned officer. For units with endemic medical personnel, they will be made a part of the FST. The important thing to remember is that the team should have enough members to accomplish its mission throughout the unit's area of operations. For units that consist of teams that operate individually, FST members should be placed in each team to provide support for the soldiers. FST members must be selected from personnel whose normal field duties will not impede time for their duties as a FST to be performed. Every FST member will be trained and certified via the field sanitation team course by supporting Environmental Health and Preventive Medicine assets and have no less than 6 months’ time remaining with the unit.
