Combat Casualty Management Issues in Future Operational Environments

This annotated briefing presents the findings of the quick-response project, Combat Casualty Management Issues in Future Operational Environments. This project is sponsored by the Deputy for Marine Corps Naval Matters (N093M). It is an outgrowth of Kernel Blitz '95, an amphibious exercise that used mostly traditional concepts of operation and had a relatively large amount of medical play. Under this traditional amphibious scenario, lessons were learned that should lead to improved medical support. But in the future, medical support for Naval Expeditionary Forces will face different and perhaps more difficult challenges.
