This book was released on 2020-08-15 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This United States Army manual, Army Techniques Publication ATP 4-02.10 Theater Hospitalization August 2020, provides a doctrinal foundation for theater hospitalization, as one of the ten medical functions, as well as tactics, techniques, and procedures to plan and employ a Role 3 Army hospital and hospital augmentation organizations within an area of operations. The principal audience for Army Techniques Publication 4-02.10 is commanders, staffs, command surgeons, Army Health System planners, medical force managers, and Army medical personnel and units. Army Medicine's analyses of future Role 3 medical and surgical requirements contrasted with current Role 3 capabilities and led to the development of a new modular hospital organization to replace the combat support hospital. The hospital center's modular design and ability to task-organize requisite medical and surgical capabilities rectifies major drawbacks found in the current combat support hospital. Required revisions in organizational design, medical and surgical capabilities, and ability to perform split or geographically dispersed operations were critical factors in the decision to replace the combat support hospital with the hospital center. This publication was also developed to address hospitalization requirements to support a range of military operations, including large-scale combat as described in Field Manual 3-0. This publication introduces the medical function and the medical care typically associated with hospitalization and then describes the combat support hospital and hospital center's organizational design, mission, rules of allocation, assignment and capabilities, dependencies, mobility, employment, functions, and requirements. The publication also provides essential information pertaining to the medical and surgical teams and detachments that augment the hospital, medical planning factors for medical materiel consumption and replenishment, water requirements for patients and staff, blood requirements and operations, patient and staff nutrition care, and information technology systems utilized by hospitals. The organizational structures and positions presented in this publication are established in tables of organization and equipment. These tables are current at the time of publication. The organization of these units is subject to change in order to comply with manpower requirements criteria. These organizations are also subject to change at the unit level to meet wartime requirements with changes reflected in the units' modified table of organization and equipment.

This book was released on 2013-04-30 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Army continues enhancing its capability to plan and provide effective operational contract support (OCS) for deployed Army and Joint forces. Operational tempo and reduced force structure has created a greater reliance upon commercial support to augment uniformed capabilities. Because of the unique nature of contracted support in contingency operations, the Army has made a concerted effort to improve our capability to plan and effectively integrate OCS into full spectrum operations. While OCS provides a commercial means to fulfill Army requirements, the overall responsibility for mission accomplishment remains with the commander; not with the contracting support organization. This new Army tactics, techniques and procedures (ATTP) manual is written for Army operational commanders and their non-acquisition officer staffs. It is applicable from brigade to Army Service Component Command levels. It provides "how to" guidance for planning, requirements preparation, and integration of OCS into combat operations. This ATTP will also facilitate the effective transition from combat to security and stability operations. Application of this ATTP will enable Army operational commanders, and their staffs, to efficiently obtain and effectively utilize available commercial support in a theater of operations. This Army Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (ATTP) manual provides operational contract support (OCS) "how to" guidance for Army Force commanders and their non- acquisition officer staffs. It is applicable from brigade to Army Service Component Command levels. It serves as the primary reference document for execution of OCS planning and integration and oversight tasks laid out in the Common Battle Staff Task 71-8-4150, Coordinate Contracting Support and AR 715-9, Operational Contract Support Planning and Management. This publication also serves as the primary reference document for the Army Logistic University's OCS Course.

Download or read book Tactical Combat Casualty Care Handbook written by United States Army and published by . This book was released on 2017-05-17 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) has saved hundreds of lives during our nation's conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Nearly 90 percent of combat fatalities occur before a casualty reaches a medical treatment facility. Therefore, the prehospital phase of care is needed to focus on reducing the number of combat deaths. However, few military physicians have had training in this area and, at the onset of hostilities, most combat medics, corpsmen, and pararescue personnel in the U.S. military have been trained to perform battlefield trauma care through civilian-based trauma courses. These courses are not designed for the prehospital combat environment and do not reflect current practices in the area of prehospital care. TCCC was created to train Soldiers and medical personnel on current best practices for medical treatment from the point of injury to evacuation to Role 3 facilities

This book was released on 2013-04-01 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Army Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (ATTP) 3-06.11 establishes doctrine for combined arms operations in urban terrain for the brigade combat team (BCT) and battalion/squadron commanders and staffs, company/troop commanders, small-unit leaders, and individual Soldiers. The continued trend worldwide of urban growth and the shift of populations from rural to urban areas continues to affect Army operations. The urban environment, consisting of complex terrain, dense populations, and integrated infrastructures, is the predominant operational environment in which Army forces currently operate. Each urban environment is unique and differs because of the combinations presented by the enemy, the urban area itself, the major operation of which it may be part (or the focus), and always changing societal and geopolitical considerations. Enemy forces will take advantage of this complex environment by intermingling with the populace. ATTP 3-06.11 describes the fundamental principles, tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) of urban operations (UO) across full spectrum operations, using the UO operational construct (understand, shape, engage, consolidate, and transition) to outline the discussions. ATTP 3-06.11 is based on current BCT structure and lessons learned from ongoing UO. ATTP 3-06.11 primarily addresses offensive and defensive operations in an urban environment. Stability operations are briefly discussed in the context of transition considerations. Stability operations are inherently among the people and generally in urban environments. Field manual (FM) 3-07 is the source manual for stability doctrine and addresses BCT considerations for conducting stability UO. FM 3-07.1 is the primary source for BCT and below considerations for interaction and support to host nation (HN) security forces. This material is not repeated in ATTP 3-06.11. This publication applies to the Active Army, the Army National Guard (ARNG)/Army National Guard of the United States (ARNGUS), and the United States Army Reserve (USAR) unless otherwise stated. The proponent for this publication is the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC). The preparing agency is the U.S. Army Maneuver Center of Excellence (MCoE). Urban operations are among the most difficult and challenging missions a BCT can undertake. Most UO are planned and controlled at division or corps level but executed by BCTs. The unified action environment of UO enables and enhances the capabilities of the BCT to plan, prepare, and execute offensive, defensive, and stability operations. Urban operations are Infantry-centric combined arms operations that capitalize on the adaptive and innovative leaders at the squad, platoon, and company level. Combined arms is the synchronized and simultaneous application of the elements of combat power to achieve an effect greater than if each element of combat power was used separately or sequentially. The eight elements of combat power are leadership, information, movement and maneuver, intelligence, fires, sustainment, mission command, and protection. Leadership and information are applied through, and multiply the effects of, the other six elements of combat power. These six-movement and maneuver, intelligence, fires, sustainment, mission command, and protection-are collectively described as the warfighting functions. (See FM 3-0 for details.) The BCT is the Army's largest fixed combined arms organization and the primary close combat force. A key component in UO is the inherent ability of the BCT to tailor its force to meet the requirements of the urban environment. This introduction provides an overview of UO considerations that shape the subsequent discussions of operations at BCT and below.

This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This multi-Service publication represents a significant revision of the November 1986 publication. The scope of the previous publication was limited to the effect that weather and terrain have on nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) operations and obscuration operations. This publication expands that scope to include the doctrinal employment of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) capabilities (organizations, personnel, technology, and information) to characterize CBRN threats and hazards, including toxic industrial material (TIM), to the commander and the force. It is designed to provide commanders and staffs at the operational and tactical levels with capability employment planning data and considerations to shape military operations involving CBRN threats and hazards (CBRN shape) and a better understanding of where and when to expect CBRN hazards by applying information management (IM) to the military decisionmaking process (MDMP)/Marine Corps planning process (MCPP). This publication incorporates the characteristics of CBRN shape as addressed in joint concepts and in doctrine; and it provides doctrine and tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) for managing CBRN threats and hazards in the larger context of multi-Service military operations. The chapters present a doctrinal foundation, and specific TTP are included in appendixes. This manual also incorporates the joint doctrine elements for combating weapons of mass destruction (WMD), to include the passive defense capabilities of CBRN shape, CBRN sense, CBRN shield, and CBRN sustain. During military operations, this publication is subordinate to current joint publications (JPs) addressing this topic. This document incorporates the following key guidance—• National strategy to combat WMD.• National military strategy to combat WMD.• Department of Defense (DOD) protection joint functional concept.• Joint enabling concept for CBRN defense.• JP 3-40.The purpose of this publication is to provide commanders, staffs, key agencies, and Service members with a key reference for understanding, characterizing, and managing CBRN threats and hazards in a particular operational environment (OE). This manual bridges the gap between Service and joint doctrine. It contains TTP for commanders and staff to use for characterizing and managing CBRN threats and hazards while conducting multi-Service military operations. This manual addresses concepts, principles, fundamentals, planning, operational considerations, and training and support functions. It serves as the foundation for developing Service manuals and refining existing training support packages, mission training plans, training center and unit exercises, and Service school curricula. It drives the examination of organizations and materiel developments applicable to military support of CBRN aspects of command and control (C2).This publication is designed for use at the operational and tactical levels but has implications at the strategic level in the implementation of CBRN supporting strategic objectives. The manual will support command staffs, CBRN staff officers, CBRN noncommissioned officers (NCOs), non-CBRN personnel performing collateral duties as additional-duty CBRN officers or NCOs, and employees of civilian agencies in the assessment, planning, preparation, and execution of CBRN C2 functions. This publication is intended to provide multi- Service C2 concepts and considerations for planning for, responding to, and recovering from CBRN events. It is not stand-alone guidance for United States (U.S.) Air Force (USAF) CBRN actions and activities. It is applicable to USAF units and USAF teams only in conjunction with appropriate USAF-specific publications, installation plans, supporting checklists, and other appropriate guidance.
