Health/fitness trackers have been in use since the 1980s, but the latest U.S. Army version takes ‘health tracking’ to a new level: “The HRAPS is a fantastic tool to help tactical commanders and frontline health care providers make critical decisions about Warfighters’ health and performance during both training and real-world operations. It is designed to help small-unit leaders and frontline medics identify possible health concerns before they become critical. It gives a snapshot of critical health and performance data about once a minute, so leaders can know their Soldiers’ location and vital signs at all times whenever the device is transmitting data.”-Emily Krohn, U.S. Army Medical Materiel Development Activity-HRAPS program

During this year’s U.S. Army overall Best Squad Competition (2nd annual) a new device was tested, in the name of health. It is called HRAPS, Health Readiness and Performance System.

The HRAPS has a lightweight transmitter, about the size and shape of an earbud, that attaches to your chest. The HRAPS has been in development since 2018.

Your ‘bosses’ (officials, health providers, etc) get portable, handheld devices that display your health data, and location, in real time.

The U.S. Department of Defense is using the excuse of supposed ‘failures’ of medevac during the Iraq and Afghanistan occupations, and the expected coming Near Peer War, to justify HRAPS: “Because of the forecasted future nature of combat, it will be imperative to have modern, user-friendly, rugged, and expeditionary tools like HRAPS to help frontline commanders in the Joint Forces make more informed decisions. The reality is that medevac capabilities found during previous operations, like in Iraq and Afghanistan, will be stretched very thin due to the possible operating environments of the future, where small teams will deploy far from higher echelon care facilities in austere, remote locations. It will be a critical advantage to have tools like HRAPS that will help provide advanced warning for health concerns that can point to deeper issues before they become emergencies. Having real-time health information for the Warfighters on the frontlines will help inform field medical care and maximize the effectiveness of available resources.”-Emily Krohn, U.S. Army Medical Materiel Development Activity-HRAPS program

Of course, this new device is being touted as a tool only for saving your life: “During emergency situations while treating injuries and casualties, every minute counts, and having a baseline of physiological data tracked over a period of time would help inform decision making while treating Soldiers in the field. We know that the effects of injuries compound over time, so being able to identify vital sign anomalies before they present in a patient is important to helping prevent possible complications with the onset of symptoms. If abnormalities do appear, we will be able to treat them early in the continuum, which would help mitigate injuries before they begin to escalate, and help providers apply a more holistic approach to casualty treatment, leading to better overall outcomes.”-Staff Sergeant Jesse Hylton, Best Squad competitor who is testing HRAPS

Operation Jupiter: U.S. & California GOVERNMENTs ORDERED COVER-UP OF CHINESE ‘GAIN-OF-FUNCTION’ LABS, FDA ISSUES WARNING!
I came up with the title Operation Jupiter after doing research on the anthrax fiasco of 2015. The research led me to discover a U.S. military experiment called JUPITR ATD.
