USAF to use Acupuncture in battlefield medicine

an article about Air Force physicians being trained to use acupuncture in battlefield situations.

Is this a good thing? On one hand we have more exposure and legitimacy now that the USAF has picked it up, but is it detrimental as well, as it could lead to a 'standardized' methodology? Do physicians with only 200-300 hours of training in acupuncture really know what they're doing?
