  • Description: Operation Homecoming (O/H), the negotiated release of 566 US Servicemen held as prisoners of war (POWs) in Vietnam for as long as nine years, began in February 1973. During the months that followed, enemy forces released 138 Navy, 26 Marine Corps, 77 Army, and 325 Air Force Repatriated POWs (RPWs).As a part of O/H (Thirteenth Air Force, 1973), medical and psychological conditions of all repatriates were documented in the Initial Medical Evaluation Form (IMEF), a 400 page, 29 section, standard protocol. Berg and Richlin (1977a,b and c) described the procedures and findings of the medical teams that examined and treated Navy, Marine Corps, and Army RPWs at Clark Air Force Base (Republic of the Philippines) and at numerous stateside military medical treatment facilities. Where appropriate, information was also presented concerning symptoms and conditions which occurred during captivity (as described in the history section of the IMEF). There was no such similar report or publication from the Air Force. 01 Jan 0001, 01 Jan 0001, Tables
