Book excerpt: This Army techniques publication (ATP) is a consolidation of currently existing publications which address the treatment aspects of the Army Health System (AHS). The publications being consolidated into this ATP publication include: Field Manual (FM) 4-02.10, 3 January 2005; FM 4-02.19, 31 July 2009; FM 4-02.25, 28 March 2003; FM 4-02.51, 6 July 2006; and FM 4-02.56, 6 July 2006. This publication is intended for use by commanders and their staffs, command surgeons, AHS planners, and Army Medical Department personnel and units. This publication addresses the casualty care aspects of the health service support mission under the sustainment warfighting function. It describes the various organizational designs for the units providing this support and doctrinal guidance on the employment of these organizations and their functional capabilities. The staffing and organizational structures and positions presented in this manual are established in tables of organization and equipment (TOEs). These tables were current at the time this manual was published. The organization of these units is subject to change in order to comply with manpower requirements criteria outlined in Army Regulation (AR) 71-32. These organizations are also subject to change at the unit level in order to meet wartime requirements and changes are reflected in the units' modified table of organization and equipment (MTOE). The AHS is comprised of a system of interrelated and interdependent systems synchronized to provide a seamless continuum of care from the point of injury, wounding, or illness in a deployed area of operations (AO), through successive increments of greater capability and complexity to definitive, convalescent, and rehabilitative care in the continental United States (CONUS)-support base. Historically, the systems have been referred to as medical functions and include: medical mission command; medical treatment (area and organic support); hospitalization; dental services; preventive medicine services; veterinary services; combat and operational stress control (COSC); medical evacuation (to include medical regulating and en route medical care); medical logistics (to include blood management); and medical laboratory services. With the publication of FM 3-0 in February 2008, the missions of the AHS were placed under two different warfighting functions, where previously they had only been included in the combat service support battlefield operating system. The two warfighting functions which now contain AHS missions are the sustainment warfighting function and the protection warfighting function. The transition from the battlefield operating systems to the warfighting functions required a new approach in describing the capabilities of the Army Medical Department. Under the sustainment warfighting function, the mission to provide health service support is comprised of three major components-casualty care, medical evacuation, and medical logistics. Casualty care encompasses medical treatment (organic and area support), hospitalization, the treatment aspects of dental services and combat and operational stress (behavioral health and neuropsychiatric care), and clinical laboratory services. It also includes the treatment of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN)-contaminated patients. Under the protection warfighting function, the mission to provide force health protection is comprised of preventive medicine, veterinary services, the preventive aspects of dental services (preventive dentistry) and combat and operational stress control, and the area medical laboratory.

The principal audience for this publication is all commanders and their staffs, command surgeons, Army health systems planners, Army Medical Department personnel and units involved in medical evacuation operations.The Army Health System is a complex system of interrelated and interdependent systems which provides a continuum of medical treatment from the point of injury or wounding through successive roles of medical care to definitive, rehabilitative, and convalescent care in the continental United States, as required. Medical evacuation is the system which provides the vital linkage between the roles of care necessary to sustain the patient during transport. This is accomplished by providing en route medical care and emergency medical intervention, if required, to enhance the individual's prognosis and reduce long-term disability. Army Techniques Publication 4-02.2 contains six chapters and four appendices as follows: Chapter 1 provides an overview of Army Health System and how medical evacuation relates to the principles of the Army Health System. It discusses the purpose, primary tasks, and attributes of the Army medical evacuation system. It also defines the differences between medical evacuation and casualty evacuation.

Download or read book Casualty Evacuation Atp 4 25 13 written by Department Army and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Army techniques publication (ATP), "Casualty Evacuation" provides doctrine for conducting casualty evacuation (CASEVAC). Casualty evacuation encompasses both the evacuation of Soldiers from the point of injury or wounding to a medical treatment facility (MTF) and the coordination requirements for the use of nonmedical transportation assets to accomplish the CASEVAC mission. This publication is intended for use by all commanders and their staff involved in CASEVAC operations. For the Army, CASEVAC involves the unregulated movement of casualties using predesignated or opportune tactical or logistic aircraft and vehicles. These vehicles/rotary-wing aircraft are not staffed with medical personnel for en route care (unless augmentation is planned for in the operation plan). These vehicles/aircraft do not have organic medical equipment. If the combat medic is not available to provide care en route, the combat lifesaver (CLS) may accompany the casualties to monitor their conditions. Casualty evacuation is oftentimes the first step in a process that moves a wounded or injured Soldier from the point of wounding into the multifaceted Army Health System. Casualty evacuation can be accomplished by a variety of transportation platforms. These methods must be trained and practiced and include manual carries, litter evacuation, and the use of nonmedical vehicles. In order to determine the appropriate evacuation method, the Soldier executing the movement of the casualty must be able to determine the most effective mode of movement available to them to best meet their operational needs and the needs of the casualty. The movement of a casualty begins the evacuation chain which clears the operational area of casualties and moves the casualty through successively enhanced roles of medical care. Once the casualty is in the medical evacuation system, they receive en route medical care and emergency medical intervention, if required; this enhances the Soldier's prognosis and can reduce long-term disability. Upon arrival at an MTF the patient continues through the Army Health System until he is treated and released or continues through the Army Health System for more definitive care in the continental U.S.

This book was released on 2020-08-20 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This United States Army manual, Army Techniques Publication ATP 4-02.8 Force Health Protection Change 1 August 2020, encompasses all of the preventive aspects of the AHS. The AHS is a system of health which promotes the physiological and psychological wellbeing of Soldiers and their Families from their accession into the U. S. Army, throughout their careers, and into their retirement or separation from military service. Force health protection promotes healthy and positive lifestyle changes which result in healthy and fit Soldiers, facilitates and enhances resilience, and ensures a combat-ready force. The cornerstone of this philosophy is the performance triad-sleep, activity, and nutrition. This publication addresses the preventive aspects of the various functions which comprise FHP. Although the design of this publication discusses each function separately, the reader must keep in mind the AHS is a system of systems that is interdependent and interrelated and requires continual planning, coordination, and synchronization to prevent and mitigate health risks to deployed Soldiers and to provide the highest quality of care to our wounded, injured, and ill Soldiers. This publication is organized as follows: Chapter 1, Force Health Protection and the Performance Triad. This chapter provides an introduction to the performance triad and its importance to maintaining a healthy and fit combat- ready force. Chapter 2, Preventive Medicine. The medical function of PVNTMED is described including all programs and services which are encompassed by this function. The chapter also discusses the levels of PVNTMED support and the PVNTMED assets as they are arrayed on the battlefield. Chapter 3, Veterinary Services. The Defense Health Agency (DHA) exercises management responsibility for shared services, functions, and activities in the Military Health System and its common business and clinical processes. As such, veterinary support is provided to all Services with the exception of food inspection on United States Air Force installations by United States Army veterinary resources.Chapter 4, Combat and Operational Stress Control. The medical function of COSC covers both the FHP aspects of behavioral health (BH) and the health service support (treatment) aspects of neuropsychiatric and BH support. For a discussion of the treatment aspects refer to ATP 4-02.5. This chapter discusses stress prevention and combat and operational stress reaction (COSR)management, resilience, and programs. ★Chapter 5, Preventive Dentistry. This chapter has been superseded by ATP 4-02.19. Chapter 6, Area Medical Laboratory. Area medical laboratory services and support fall under the protection warfighting function and the FHP mission area because of its capability to identify chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) warfare agents. Although it is also capable of providing direct support to hospital clinical laboratories in support of medical diagnosis and treatment, it is the only laboratory in theater which can identify and confirm the presence of CBRN agents. Appendix A, Determination of Eligibility for Care of Military Working Dogs and Other Government-Owned Animals. This appendix provides the considerations for determining the eligibility for care in a U.S. Army veterinary facility of military working dogs, contractor animals, government-owned animals, unit mascots if authorized by command, and personal pets.

This book was released on 2014-06-20 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication, Army Techniques Publication ATP 4-02.3 Army Health System Support to Maneuver Forces June 2014, is a consolidation of currently existing publications which address Army Health System (AHS) support to maneuver forces. The publications being consolidated into this Army Techniques Publication (ATP) include Field Manual (FM) 4-02.4, FM 4-02.6, and FM 4-02.21. Army Health System resources (personnel and equipment) are organic to a variety of organizations within the brigade combat teams (BCTs). The numbers of personnel, medical equipment, and unit capabilities for providing organic AHS support also varies depending upon the parent formation/organization. It is essential for AHS planners to understand how AHS resources are arrayed across the battlefield and the capabilities and limitations of the various medical assets that are used across the range of military operations in support of the warfighting functions in the conduct of unified land operations and in pursuit of decisive action in any operational environment (OE). To facilitate this understanding, this publication uses the infantry brigade combat team (IBCT) base table of organization and equipment (TOE) for illustrative purposes only. Variances will exist between what is included in this publication and the actual modified TOEs of deployed units. These variances may be due to updates of areas of concentration (AOCs), military occupational specialties (MOSs), and military grades and modifications made to unit's TOE which result in the unit's modified TOE or updates to the base TOEs reflecting Total Army Analysis findings and judgments. Where significant differences exist in the base TOEs of the BCTs, an explanation of these differences is provided. The principle audience for this publication is all commanders and their staffs, command surgeons, AHS planners, and Army Medical Department (AMEDD) personnel and units.

This book was released on 2016-01-18 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication, Army Techniques Publication ATP 4-02.43 Army Health System Support to Army Special Operations Forces December 2015, remains generally consistent with FM 4-02.43 on key topics while adopting updated terminology and concepts, as necessary. Army Health System support to ARSOF is challenging in that ARSOF are lightly equipped with limited organic support assets. Therefore, they must be self-sustaining in all areas of medical care throughout the range of military operations. Since they routinely operate in undeveloped joint operational areas without established support systems, ARSOF medical personnel must assume both AHS missions of health service support (HSS) and force health protection (FHP) responsibilities. Army Techniques Publication 4-02.43 contains the following six chapters and three appendixes: Chapter 1 provides an overview of AHS support and its mission to provide health care to Soldiers across the range of military operations. It identifies and discusses the purpose of the AHS, reviews the roles of medical care and the AHS principles. Chapter 2 discusses the missions and activities of ARSOF. It also examines ARSOF medical capabilities and the range of medical personnel and their responsibilities serving in ARSOF. Chapter 3 lists the AMEDD medical functions and their relationship to ARSOF. In addition, there is a comparison of AHS support between conventional forces and ARSOF. Chapter 4 discusses planning for AHS support to ARSOF. It focuses upon planning requirements for a number of core activities. Chapter 5 focuses upon AHS support to ARSOF in joint operations and the various considerations involved in joint task force (JTF) planning. Chapter 6 examines medical logistics (MEDLOG) support to ARSOF and its unique requirements. Appendix A provides an explanation of the law of war, which includes the Geneva Conventions, and the protections afforded to conventional medical personnel, medical aircraft, and medical materiel. Appendix B discusses medical evacuation planning in the support of ARSOF missions and units. Appendix C discusses the relationship between special operations (SO) mission command in the joint environment.
