What's inside:

Combat health logistics (CHL), to include blood management, is one of the major Army Medical Department (AMEDD) functional areas. Under the Medical Force 2000 (MF2K) concept, CHL in a theater of operations (TO) is provided by the medical battalion, logistics (forward), the medical battalion, logistics (rear), the theater medical materiel management center, and the medical detachment (logistics support). These organizations were designed based upon the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) scenario and workloads. Current MF2K CHL doctrine is articulated in Field Manual (FM) 8-10-9.

Under Force XXI and the medical reengineering initiative (MRI), theater CHL will be provided by five new tables of organization and equipment (TOEs) organizations and a table of distribution and allowances (TDA) element from the United States (US) Army Medical Materiel Agency (USAMMA) (see Chapter 3). These new TOEs organizations were designed based on lessons learned from Desert Shield/ Desert Storm and recent contingency operations.

The purpose of this publication is to describe the CHL in support of a Force Projection Army into the 21st Century. It embodies doctrine based on the MRI and the A-edition TOE. The organizational structures presented in this publication reflect those established in the A-edition TOE in effect on the date of this publication.

This publication is in concert with FM 8-10. Other FM 8- and FM 4-02 series publications will be referenced in the manual. Users should be familiar with FM 3-0 and FM 100-10.

The use of the term echelon of care in this publication is synonymous with level of care and role of care. The term echelon of care is the old NATO term. The term role of care is the new NATO and American, British, Canadian, and Australian (ABCA) term.

In this manual, the term trauma specialist is used in place of combat medic. This change is in line with the AMEDD’s transition to the 91W military occupational specialty (MOS) which will replace MOS 91B and 91C when new modified TOEs take effect.
