This article provides information on both the M.A.S.H units during the Korean War as well as the M.U.S.T units during the Vietnam War. It talks about why these units were created and once in effect how did it help the troops. The article also has the percentages of survival rates in multiple fields from these two wars compared to those in the past. This article also covers many different illness and injuries and how the treatments improved to the MASH and MUST units. Overall this was one of my two favorite sources due to all the information and pictures that it has, it really helped get into the topic.

This article also provides information on the original designs of the MASH units; the number of staff, the setup, and the equipment. It also goes into more detail about the downsides faced within these units.

It is one thing to read about a subject, but this article takes it a step ahead by showing how each unit looks and how the staff works.
