From the ASPS press release:
Since World War I, plastic surgery has been an integral part of wound healing and rebuilding lives, physically and psychologically. War has inspired groundbreaking advances in plastic surgery. And today, plastic surgeons in the U.S. armed forces continue to pioneer reconstructive procedures and develop innovative technologies and techniques to repair traumatic battlefield injuries and restore function. Additionally, U.S. military plastic surgeons are involved in many humanitarian and diplomatic efforts from the battlefields and underdeveloped countries… to Main Street USA.
