Abstract
Making medical countermeasures requires documentation to assess vulnerabilities, threats and operational risks and bioterrorism through the collection and processing of specific multidisciplinary data in human medicine, veterinary, phytosanitary, the environment, defense and national security, etc. Based on retrospective data and late information (medical intelligence), we can estimate the prospective risk to public health, respectively for troops and civilian population in a given area, the area of operations. The biological military or bioterrorist attack, whether overtly or masqueraded as human or animal epidemics can cause a major biological crisis for troops and the civilian population, for domestic and wild animals, for crops or wild plants or for the environment, which remains contaminated. Therefore, it is important to constantly monitor the situation of infectious diseases in the area of responsibility (national territory, operations theaters) to assess vulnerability, threat and bioterrorist risk but also for making medical anti-bioterrorist countermeasures, which can only be effective by genuine cooperation between all specialized structures of the Ministry of Defense, other departments and the civil society.
