Download or read book Tri Service Medical Transformation Time for a Unified Military Medical Command USMEDCOM written by and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current U.S. military medical service structure is redundant and inefficient. Each service trains, equips and organizes its own medical force under the direction of a Surgeon General and medical department (the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery - BUMED, the Army Medical Command - USAMEDCOM, and the Air Force Medical Service - AFMS). Yet all these medical departments are interwoven in and subordinate to the Defense Health Program (DHP) and its peacetime health care delivery system - TRICARE. This paper assesses the current Department of Defense (DOD) medical support organization and proposes the development of a unified medical command (USMEDOOM) that will provide health care across the services more efficiently through the common training, organizing and equipping of a joint medical force.
Download or read book A Unified Medical Command written by Larry J. Godfrey and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American Military Medicine's early organizational roots came from a British model. During the Civil War military medical services reorganized to support large land forces in heavy combat. The pattern developed during that period remains, with minor adjustments for improved technology, the organizational model for today's medical force. This pattern is based on service specific, separate medical departments with limited interoperability. A transformation is underway that is converting much of the force structure into an interoperable joint force. As they are currently organized, the military medical services cannot efficiently support a joint force. To solve this problem, all three service medical departments should be reorganized under a single Unified Medical Command that retains the individual service medical departments as subordinate component medical commands. Such a structure will maximize efficiency, eliminate unnecessary redundancy, conserve limited resources and respond to the needs of a joint force better than the current structure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense Military Health System dates back to 1775 when it supported the Continental Army. The purpose of the Military Health System (MHS) is to provide medical care (preventive and resuscitative care) for our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines, who may be deployed in operations such as Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom or assigned around the world in support of our national interests. MHS beneficiaries have grown to a population of over nine million. MHS delivers medical care in over eighty hospitals and more than five hundred medical clinics throughout the world, making it one of the largest medical infrastructures of this great nation. In the MHS organizational structure, each Service Component has a Surgeon General and a separate medical command structure and the Department of Defense oversees medical support via the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs. Given the President's emphasis on transforming the way the Department of Defense runs, should the Department of Defense now establish a Joint Medical Command or a Unified Medical Command? If so, should this Joint Medical Command operate at the strategic, operational, and tactical levels?

Download or read book A Joint Medical Command Is It Needed to Enhance Medical Interoperability in the Modern Warfight written by and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the entire Department of Defense continues to transform in the midst of a global war on terrorism, all of the Services continue to promulgate ways and means to become more expeditionary and modular in their approach to warfighting. In order to maintain relevancy, so must the service Medical Departments also find ways to enhance their benefit to the Joint Force Commander. In an era of budgetary constraints, it is apparent that the time has come to look at just how significant the formulation of a Joint Medical Command would be to the operational aspect of warfare. There have been many recent episodes of jointness in medical support on the battlefield, but nothing in doctrine supports the premise, and current service parochialisms often stand in the way of furthering this concept. This paper will look at advantages and disadvantages of joint medical support using key operational functions and the six joint health service support principles as a framework for analysis and conclusion. Many have written about benefits to peacetime healthcare, yet little exists in ways of analyzing this concept with respect to the warfighter from a joint support perspective.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volumes have been written touting the benefits of a Unified Medical Command, but none have discussed the Army, Navy, and Air Force Dental Corps' role in this command. The pace of military medicine's transformation is increasing, and in order to ensure eligible beneficiaries continue to get world class dental care, a study of dentistry's potential role must be conducted. Whether a Unified Medical Command is established or not, there are several joint dental initiatives that should be undertaken to achieve unity of effort between the services in both peacetime and war. To meaningfully contribute to a Joint Medical structure, the Dental Corps must start now to ensure young officers receive joint exposure to understand each service's dental capabilities and how to employ them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Noncommissioned Officer and Petty Officer BACKBONE of the Armed Forces. Introduction The Backbone of the Armed Forces To be a member of the United States Armed Forces--to wear the uniform of the Nation and the stripes, chevrons, or anchors of the military Services--is to continue a legacy of service, honor, and patriotism that transcends generations. Answering the call to serve is to join the long line of selfless patriots who make up the Profession of Arms. This profession does not belong solely to the United States. It stretches across borders and time to encompass a culture of service, expertise, and, in most cases, patriotism. Today, the Nation's young men and women voluntarily take an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States and fall into formation with other proud and determined individuals who have answered the call to defend freedom. This splendid legacy, forged in crisis and enriched during times of peace, is deeply rooted in a time-tested warrior ethos. It is inspired by the notion of contributing to something larger, deeper, and more profound than one's own self.
