What's inside:

This field manual (FM) provides the keystone doctrine for force health protection (FHP) in a global environment (FHPGE) in support of the Force Projection Army. Force health protection in a global environment is the overarching concept of support for providing timely medical support to the tactical commander; it is executed by the health service support (HSS) system. It discusses the current HSS force structure modernized under the Department of the Army (DA)-approved Medical Reengineering Initiative (MRI) and Force XXI redesign initiatives. This publication further addresses future capabilities and requirements.

As the Army’s keystone FHPGE doctrine statement, this publication identifies functions and procedures essential for operations covered in other Army Medical Department (AMEDD) functional area and reference manuals. This publication depicts HSS operations from the point of injury, illness, or wounding through successive levels of care within the theater and evacuation to the continental United States (CONUS) support base. It presents a stable body of operational doctrine rooted in actual military experience and serves as a foundation for the development of tactics, techniques, and procedures manuals. It also provides information on homeland security, antiterrorism, and force protection.

This publication is for use by HSS commanders and their staffs, command surgeons, and nonmedical unit commanders and their staffs. It is to be used as a guide in obtaining as well as providing HSS in a theater of operations (TO). Information in this publication is applicable to the full spectrum of military operations. It is compatible with the Army’s combat service support (CSS) doctrine in support of the Force Projection Army and is in consonance with Joint Health Service Support (JHSS) Vision and doctrine as provided in Joint Publication 4-02.

This publication implements or is in consonance with the following North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Standardization Agreements (STANAGs), American, British, Canadian, and Australian (ABCA) Quadripartite Standardization Agreements (QSTAGs), and Quadripartite Advisory Publication (QAP) 82, ABCA Armies Medical Interoperability Handbook.
