Abstract

The 1996 Khobar Towers bombing, a large-scale mass casualty incident (MASCAL) at a coalition forces housing complex, resulted in 519 casualties. Key lessons learned include the importance of MASCAL exercises, self-aid and buddy care, and casualty triage, all critical to preparation for future terrorist attacks or near-peer combat operations MASCALs.
