This book was released on 2005 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States has entered a new security environment, causing its military to conduct operations in remote areas of the world with limited resources to support its troops. The Fleet Hospital Program is responsible for providing health service support ashore, mainly medical and surgical capabilities, to Navy and Marine Corps personnel during intense combat operations. The requirement for forces to be lighter, more maneuverable, and more readily deployed and employed in the 2001 "Quadrennial Defense Review" has created the need for change in this program. This study answers the following question: Should the Navy Fleet Hospital Program transform from a platform-based hospital to a modular, capabilities-based hospital? The study utilizes five future mission scenarios for deployable medical systems to evaluate the applicability of a capabilities-based fleet hospital to perform those missions. The study leads to the conclusion that, to remain a relevant deployable medical asset, the current fleet hospitals require reconfiguration to capabilities-based hospitals to meet the operational needs of the warfighter. The current fleet hospitals are simply too large and cumbersome to provide a flexible, modular, and maneuverable medical facility necessary to operate in today's security environment.

Download or read book The Evolution of the Fleet Hospital Program written by Joseph Triplett and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global security environment has changed significantly since the original concept of fleet hospitals was developed. This thesis examines the process used to plan and budget for fleet hospitals, and examines the events that shaped the configuration and billet structure of fleet hospitals. Evidence for this thesis was taken from reports from DOD, GAO and Congress, congressional testimony, studies conducted by the Center for Naval Analyses, journal articles, after action reports and pertinent DOD directives and manuals. Additional data were obtained through interviews with key officials involved in resourcing and managing the Fleet Hospital Program and training personnel assigned to augment fleet hospital platforms. The thesis concludes that planning and budgeting for fleet hospitals is dependent on the structure of the THCSRR model. The establishment of Single Sourcing Hospitals to deploy as fleet hospital units is intended to enhance fleet hospital operational performance by capitalizing on working relations developed delivering the peace time benefit. As the Cold War ended and more accurate methods for estimating casualty rates emerged, the requirement for fleet hospitals decreased from 17 to 10. Shifts in Navy and Marine Corps doctrine to lighter, faster and more flexible maneuvers have led to the development of NEMSS.

This book was released on 2012-05-27 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This illustrated history covers the history of the U.S. Navy in the Middle East. America's interests in the Middle East, southwest Asia, and eastern Africa date almost to the founding of the nation. Since World War II, the Navy has been the first line of defense for these interests. From the establishment of the Middle East Force (MEF) in 1949 through the beginning of the 21st century, the U.S. Navy served as a force for stability and peace in the region. The Navy's presence helped prevent regional crises from escalating into wars, enforce international sanctions, and minimize damage done by regional conflicts to American and allied interests. The work concentrates on the Navy's command relationships, roles and missions, and operations in the period leading up to the First Gulf War, the war itself, and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.The Naval Historical Center completed this illustrated history of U.S. Naval Forces Central Command/Fifth Fleet to accompany the exhibit it installed in the headquarters building on board Naval Support Activity Bahrain. In keeping with the Center's mission of supporting the operating forces, the purpose of this book is to inform visitors to the headquarters and American Sailors serving in the Middle East about the Navy's presence in Arabian waters and the variety of missions the Navy has conducted there, in peace and in war. From the presidency of George Washington through the beginning of the Cold War, Americans have forged and maintained ties with the peoples of the Middle East. These bonds strengthened in 1949 with the establishment of the Middle East Force and a permanent U.S. naval presence in the Arabian Gulf. They grew even stronger when America committed itself to the defense of its friends in the region, establishing Central Command and its naval component, Naval Forces Central Command, in 1983. The United States Navy remains an anchor of resolve in promoting peace, stability, and prosperity in the Central Command area of responsibility. The author, Dr. Robert J. Schneller Jr., is well qualified to present this informative and well-illustrated history. He is co-author of a book on the Navy's role in operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm, and since 9/11 has been researching and writing about the Navy's role in the Global War on terrorism.
