Bottled water in the Third World can be risky. I spent some time in central America in the 1980s and learned the value of dual treatment and the test kit. Our safety officer was Navy Med veteran of numerous OFDA missions and instilled the drill into us, as having to exfil a casualty stateside impacted the efficiency of the unit all out of proportion to the loss of one man, but also scheduling the evac flight and getting a replacement brought up to speed. Most of the task force were former Coast Guard, Seabees or Navy Medical detailed to OFDA.
