(i) Contingency operations;

(ii) Humanitarian or peacekeeping operations; or

(iii) Other military operations or exercises designated by the Combatant Commander.

(2) Contract performance in support of U.S. military forces may require work in dangerous or austere conditions.

(2)(i) All Contractor personnel engaged in the theater of operations are authorized resuscitative care, stabilization, hospitalization at level III military treatment facilities, and assistance with patient movement in emergencies where loss of life, limb, or eyesight could occur. Hospitalization will be limited to stabilization and short-term medical treatment with an emphasis on return to duty or placement in the patient movement system.

In the Republic of Korea, all contractor employees subject to this clause shall comply with the same DoD immunization requirements applicable to Emergency Essential DoD civilians—INCLUDING ANTHRAX IMMUNIZATION. The Government will provide, at no cost to the Contractor, any Korean theater-specific immunizations and/or medications not available to the general public.
