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 2013-05-28 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

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.

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

Download or read book Strengthening the Military Family Readiness System for a Changing American Society written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2019-10-25 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. military has been continuously engaged in foreign conflicts for over two decades. The strains that these deployments, the associated increases in operational tempo, and the general challenges of military life affect not only service members but also the people who depend on them and who support them as they support the nation â€" their families. Family members provide support to service members while they serve or when they have difficulties; family problems can interfere with the ability of service members to deploy or remain in theater; and family members are central influences on whether members continue to serve. In addition, rising family diversity and complexity will likely increase the difficulty of creating military policies, programs and practices that adequately support families in the performance of military duties. Strengthening the Military Family Readiness System for a Changing American Society examines the challenges and opportunities facing military families and what is known about effective strategies for supporting and protecting military children and families, as well as lessons to be learned from these experiences. This report offers recommendations regarding what is needed to strengthen the support system for military families.
