Medical Operations Handbook CPT Michael W. Smith US Army, Medical Service Corps

Slide2: 

FEBRUARY 2001 VERSION This handbook is a compilation of information I have acquired over the years. If some of it looks familiar, you probably saw it in a unit’s SOP, from course handouts, in a CALL newsletter, in a battle book, or maybe even in an FM. Whenever I found something that looked like it would be wise to know, I added it into the book. I have tried to keep it concise, so I know there are many other pieces of information out there that would be great to add. The beauty of this book is that it is made to fit into a standard Army Aviation Checklist book so you can add or delete as you see fit. This handbook is not intended to substitute current directives, instructions, or doctrinal publications and there is no official endorsement by any Department of Defense or Department of Army personnel. I would like to thank the following individuals for their support in putting this book together: BG Robert E. Brady, US Army (Retired) COL Fred Gerber, Director of Health Care Operations, Department of the Army, Office of the Surgeon General COL Richard Agee, Health Care Operations, AMEDD Center and School LTC Jeff McCollum, AMEDD Center and School LTC Rick Nichols, Combined Arms Center, Fort Leavenworth MAJ Tom Berry, 173rd Infantry Brigade (Airborne) CPT David E. Parker, 4th Infantry Division Mr. Greg Rathbun, AMEDD Lessons Learned Remember, this book is just a collection of information I liked…it is not to be taken as gospel, only FM’s have that distinction. Hope you find it helpful. CPT Michael W. Smith 70H Forward Feedback To: GIMedic@aol.com

HEALTH CARE DOCTRINE Echelons of Health Care: Echelon I: Immediate lifesaving measures, disease and non-battle injury prevention, combat stress control preventive measures, casualty collection, evacuation from supported units to supporting medical treatment, treatment provided by designated individuals or treatment squad. Echelon II: Care is administered at an HSS organization by a team of physicians or physician assistants, supported by appropriate medical technical or nursing staff. Echelon III: Care administered requires clinical capabilities normally found in a medical treatment facility (MTF). Echelon IV: Care is not only a surgical capability as provided in Echelon III, but also further definitive therapy for patients in the recovery phase. Echelon V: Care is convalescent, restorative, and rehabilitative and is normally provided by military, Department of Veterans Affairs, or civilian hospitals in CONUS.

COMMAND RELATIONSHIPS ORGANIC: A unit that forms an essential part of an army unit an is listed in its table of organization and equipment or its table of distribution and allowances. ASSIGNED: A unit that is placed in an organization on a permanent basis and is controlled and administered by the organization to which it is assigned for its primary function or the greater portion of its functions. ATTACHED: A unit that is placed in an organization on a temporary basis, subject to limitation specified in the attachment order. OPERATIONAL CONTROL (OPCON): A unit that has been provided to another commander to accomplish specific missions or tasks that are usually limited by function, time, or location. The commander may deploy the unit concerned and retain tactical control or he may assign tactical control of the unit to the subordinate commander. OPCON does not include administrative and logistic responsibility, discipline, internal organization, and unit training. SUPPORT RELATIONSHIPS DIRECT SUPPORT: A unit in DS of a specific unit is required to give priority of support to that unit. The supporting unit will take support request directly from the supported unit. A unit in DS has no command relationship with the supported unit and therefore cannot be suballocated, reassigned, or reorganized by the supported force. GENERAL SUPPORT: A unit in GS will provide support to the total force and not to any particular subdivision of the supported force. Subdivisions and/or subordinate units may request support through the supported force headquarters, but only the supported force headquarters can determine the priorities and can assign missions to GS units. GENERAL SUPPORT-REINFORCING: GSR is used primarily with arty units. The GSR arty unit is required to support the force as a whole and to provide reinforcing fires to another arty unit as a second priority. REINFORCING: Reinforcing is also used primarily with artillery units. The reinforcing unit is required to give the priority of support to another artillery unit. 76

Friendly Forces Information Requirements (FFIR) What the commander needs to know about the combat capabilities of his/her or adjacent units (both tangible and intangible capabilities). Essential Elements of Friendly Information (EEFI) What the commander needs to know to determine how he must protect the force from the enemy’s information gathering systems. Information Display Display symbols, graphics, and terminology consistent with FM 101-5-1 Display essential information. Display information clearly and understandably. Display information accurately, reliably, and in a timely manner. Be able to be changed promptly and easily as the information is update. Be easily distributed to higher, lower, and adjacent units.

RAMP/ROE CHECKLIST RULES OF ENGAGEMENT CONDITIONS ROECON GREEN Applies when no discernable threat of hostility exists. Places force in a routine security posture. Involves minimal arming, and protection only of the force and key facilities. ROECON AMBER Applies when there is a discernible threat of hostile activity, but not enough of a threat to justify ROECON RED. Does not generally apply where higher HQ has formally identified a hostile force. Provides for arming additional key personnel, establishment of roadblocks and barriers, security patrols, and increased availability of ordnance. ROECON RED Applies when an actual attack on US forces occurs, a threat of imminent attack exists, or higher HQ has formally identified a hostile force in theater. Directs the force to continue the protection measures detailed in the lower ROECONs, while arming all levels of approval authority on select weapon systems. Group will supplement the soldier’s RAMP by providing specific hostility criteria to assist in implementing the “A - Anticipate” attack principles. * This checklist supplements Fort Bragg Regulation 350-41, Chapter 22. 99
