RESUMEN
Skin carriage of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-baumannii complex was not detected among a representative sample of 102 US Army soldiers stationed in Iraq. This observation refutes the hypothesis that preinjury skin carriage serves as the reservoir for the Acinetobacter infections seen in US military combat casualties.

RESUMEN
A 28-year-old African American male, originally from West Africa, presented with complaints of cough and hemoptysis.

Exploring this case illustrates how an Army physician may approach a soldier with hemoptysis. Additionally, this case demonstrates the management and treatment of his condition.
