The article in Time on April 2nd 2020“The U.S. Military Has Joined the War Against the Coronavirus,But Its Firepower Is Limited”mentions that U.S. forces are accustomed to supporting relief efforts during natural disasters, which tend to strike a single region. The coronavirus pandemic is ravaging the U.S. in waves, hitting all 50 states, with multiple major outbreaks. While American troops can easily construct field hospitals, small and designed for trauma care, the limiting factor is equipment and personnel, which is badly needed across the country. With its nearlimitless reach by air, land and sea, U.S. forces can provide goods, services and logistics support to those in need. And it may be in this customary role that the nation can expect the most robust U.S. military support going forward.
最新一期的美國《時(shí)代》周刊題為《美軍參戰(zhàn),火力有限》的文章提到, 美國軍隊(duì)習(xí)慣于自然災(zāi)害的救災(zāi)工作,而這些災(zāi)害往往只發(fā)生在某一個(gè)地區(qū)。當(dāng)前,新冠肺炎疫情在美國肆虐,50個(gè)州無一幸免,主要爆發(fā)點(diǎn)有好幾處。雖然美國軍隊(duì)建野戰(zhàn)醫(yī)院不難,但這些野戰(zhàn)醫(yī)院規(guī)模小且主要是為創(chuàng)傷護(hù)理而設(shè)計(jì),并受制于設(shè)備和醫(yī)護(hù)人員不足。醫(yī)療資源短缺問題在整個(gè)美國都很普遍。美國軍隊(duì)可以通過海陸空三維一體的方式給需要幫助的人們提供源源不斷的貨物、服務(wù)和后勤保障?;蛟S正是美國軍方的這種習(xí)慣性扮演的角色才使得民眾對(duì)擁有最強(qiáng)大支援能力的美軍有了更大的期待。
