From Jennifer CS Brylinski, Round Table President Info about the September Meeting Meeting Date: Tuesday, September 19, 2017 Time: 7:30 PM Place: Bristol Glen, Newton, New Jersey Sept. 19, 2017 – The Army of the Potomac and the Birth of the Ambulance Corps – by Jason Dilts. This month’s fascinating presentation will follow the organization and implementation of the Ambulance Corps during the American Civil War. Based on General Orders 147 on August 2, 1862, which gives the regulations for the organization of the ambulance corps and the management of the ambulance trains, the path to a practical and competent medical system during the War was not an easy or smooth one. Mr. Dilts will follow the deficient and impractical regulations for the operation of ambulances during the beginning of the War, the realization of the need for improvements, the implementation of those improvements all the way through the lasting impact of those improvements on the War, the soldiers, and society as a whole. Mr. Dilts is currently portrays a Surgeon with the rank of Captain in the 27th New Jersey reenactment regiment. He has worked to build an accurate representation of a Civil War Field Hospital and has spent a great amount of time researching the medical services of the Union army during the War. He lives in Franklin Township and serves as an EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) with the Franklin Township Fire Department and the NJ Forest Fire Service, and he is an EMS Division Field Training Officer.
