Medical Care in Contested Distributed Maritime Operations
Date & Time
Thursday, February 15, 2024, 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM
Description

Contested and Distributed military operations (CDMOs) present a variety of challenges when delivering medical care. Doctrinal Role 1, Role 2, and Role 3 may be inadequate for future conflicts in these environments. The presentation will have a frank discussion of some of the specific issues of 1) Providing medical care in distributed maritime operations, 2) Challenges with doctrinal evacuation of casualties, 3) Concepts of expeditionary advanced base operations with prolonged combat casualty care, and 4) Cold-Chain Medical Logistics, Sterilization, and the Class VIII problem. Several “outside the box” and non-doctrinal solutions will be presented and offered for discussion.
