Book Synopsis Measures of Readiness in Navy Medicine by : Lawrence M. Bateman
Download or read book Measures of Readiness in Navy Medicine written by Lawrence M. Bateman and published by . This book was released on 1999-09-01 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis attempts to map the changes to guidance and policy that have had an effect on Navy medicine's readiness program. Documents reviewed for this thesis include but are not limited to DoD, GAO, and service IG reports, studies by the RAND Corporation, Center for Naval Analysis, Institute for Defense Analysis, and Logistic Management Institute, congressional testimony, and relevant DoD and Navy directives and manuals. Interviews and electronic mail with officials associated with Navy medicine include Deputy Commander of MED-27, J-4 Medical Readiness Division Chief, RROC director, N931 Analyst, and DMRTI. Measuring medical readiness is a large and complex issue and the military medical systems use a variety of data and models in an attempt to measure readiness. The conclusions of this thesis are that many groups and individuals are providing guidance for Navy medical readiness and changes have been produced at a rapid rate. Considerable uncertainty and variety remains concerning who and how we need to train for wartime medical care. To address these problems, Navy medicine created the RROC and its subordinate task forces.

Book Synopsis Responding to Capability Surprise by : National Research Council
Download or read book Responding to Capability Surprise written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2013-12-31 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a military operational standpoint, surprise is an event or capability that could affect the outcome of a mission or campaign for which preparations are not in place. By definition, it is not possible to truly anticipate surprise. It is only possible to prevent it (in the sense of minimizing the number of possible surprises by appropriate planning), to create systems that are resilient to an adversary's unexpected actions, or to rapidly and effectively respond when surprised. Responding to Capability Surprise examines the issues surrounding capability surprise, both operational and technical, facing the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard. This report selects a few surprises from across a continuum of surprises, from disruptive technologies, to intelligence-inferred capability developments, to operational deployments, and assesses what the Naval Forces are doing (and could do) about them while being mindful of future budgetary declines. The report then examines which processes are in place or could be in place in the Navy, the Marine Corps, and the Coast Guard to address such surprises. Today's U.S. naval forces continue to face a wide range of potential threats in the indefinite future and for this reason must continue to balance and meet their force structure needs. The recommendations of Responding to Capability Surprise will help to ensure more responsive, more resilient, and more adaptive behavior across the organization from the most senior leadership to the individual sailors, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen.

Book Synopsis Strengthening the Military Family Readiness System for a Changing American Society by : National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Download or read book Strengthening the Military Family Readiness System for a Changing American Society written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2019-10-25 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. military has been continuously engaged in foreign conflicts for over two decades. The strains that these deployments, the associated increases in operational tempo, and the general challenges of military life affect not only service members but also the people who depend on them and who support them as they support the nation â€" their families. Family members provide support to service members while they serve or when they have difficulties; family problems can interfere with the ability of service members to deploy or remain in theater; and family members are central influences on whether members continue to serve. In addition, rising family diversity and complexity will likely increase the difficulty of creating military policies, programs and practices that adequately support families in the performance of military duties. Strengthening the Military Family Readiness System for a Changing American Society examines the challenges and opportunities facing military families and what is known about effective strategies for supporting and protecting military children and families, as well as lessons to be learned from these experiences. This report offers recommendations regarding what is needed to strengthen the support system for military families.
Book Synopsis Assessing Fitness for Military Enlistment by : National Research Council
Download or read book Assessing Fitness for Military Enlistment written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2006-02-27 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) faces short-term and long-term challenges in selecting and recruiting an enlisted force to meet personnel requirements associated with diverse and changing missions. The DoD has established standards for aptitudes/abilities, medical conditions, and physical fitness to be used in selecting recruits who are most likely to succeed in their jobs and complete the first term of service (generally 36 months). In 1999, the Committee on the Youth Population and Military Recruitment was established by the National Research Council (NRC) in response to a request from the DoD. One focus of the committee's work was to examine trends in the youth population relative to the needs of the military and the standards used to screen applicants to meet these needs. When the committee began its work in 1999, the Army, the Navy, and the Air Force had recently experienced recruiting shortfalls. By the early 2000s, all the Services were meeting their goals; however, in the first half of calendar year 2005, both the Army and the Marine Corps experienced recruiting difficulties and, in some months, shortfalls. When recruiting goals are not being met, scientific guidance is needed to inform policy decisions regarding the advisability of lowering standards and the impact of any change on training time and cost, job performance, attrition, and the health of the force. Assessing Fitness for Military Enlistment examines the current physical, medical, and mental health standards for military enlistment in light of (1) trends in the physical condition of the youth population; (2) medical advances for treating certain conditions, as well as knowledge of the typical course of chronic conditions as young people reach adulthood; (3) the role of basic training in physical conditioning; (4) the physical demands and working conditions of various jobs in today's military services; and (5) the measures that are used by the Services to characterize an individual's physical condition. The focus is on the enlistment of 18- to 24-year-olds and their first term of service.
Book Synopsis Navy Capabilities and Mobilization Plan (NCMP) Annex Q - Health Services Support : Resource and End Strength Implications by : Michael S. Palermo
Download or read book Navy Capabilities and Mobilization Plan (NCMP) Annex Q - Health Services Support : Resource and End Strength Implications written by Michael S. Palermo and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medical end strength and medical readiness policies have been impacted by post Cold War operations and downsizing of the Department of Defense (DoD). This study reviews Navy medicine's reengineering efforts intended to address these policies, focusing on the revision of the medical annex of the Navy Capabilities and Mobilization Plan (NCMP), used in support of DoD operational planning. It details the revision process, explaining the factors influencing the process, including the changes in medical doctrine, and the organizations involved. Data were obtained through interviews with key Navy planning and medical personnel and a review of DoD and Navy orders, publications and directives. The update of the medical annex has diminished the medical material supply support needed for the Casualty Receiving and Treatment Ships (CRTS), reducing weight and cargo space requirements, and producing some small budget savings as well. The update also provides a substantial reduction in the bed space capacity and medical personnel augment package supporting the new capabilities.
Book Synopsis Military Readiness by : Sharon L. Pickup
Download or read book Military Readiness written by Sharon L. Pickup and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2010-10 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 2000, the Navy has undertaken a number of initiatives to achieve greater efficiencies and reduce costs. For example, it has reduced crew sizes on some of its surface ships and has moved from instructor-led to more computer-based training. This report reviews the training, size, composition, and capabilities of the Navy¿s ship crews. It assesses the extent to which the Navy: (1) used valid assumptions and standards in determining crew sizes for cruisers and destroyers; and (2) has measured the impact of changes to its training programs, incl. the time it takes personnel to achieve various qualifications. This report analyzed Navy procedures for determining crew size compared to guidance, and analyzed current Navy metrics to measure training impact.

Download or read book Combat Casualty Care written by Martha K. Lenhart and published by Government Printing Office. This book was released on 2012 with total page 794 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is designed to deliver combat casualty care information that will facilitate transition from a continental US or civilian practice to the combat care environment. Establishment of the Joint Theater Trauma System and the Joint Theater Trauma Registry, coupled with the efforts of the authors, has resulted in the creation of the most comprehensive, evidence-based depiction of the latest advances in combat casualty care. Lessons learned in Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) have been fortified with evidence-based recommendations to improve casualty care. The educational curriculum was designed overall to address the leading causes of preventable death and disability in OEF and OIF. Specifically, the generalist combat casualty care provider is presented requisite information for optimal cae of US combat casualties in the first 72 to 96 hours after injury. The specialist provider is afforded similiar information, supplemented by lessons learned for definitive care of host nation patients."--
Book Synopsis Military Readiness by : Richard K. Betts
Download or read book Military Readiness written by Richard K. Betts and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout most of American history, U.S. military forces proved unready for the wars that were thrust upon them and suffered costly reverses in early battles. During the Cold War, for the first time, U.S. defense policy tried to maintain high readiness in peacetime. But now, with the Cold War over and defense budgets falling, what will happen to U.S. military forces? Will they revert to a state of unpreparedness or find a new balance? Politicians and military planners alike have found this crucial issue especially difficult to deal with because they have often misunderstood what readiness really means. In this book, security expert Richard Betts surveys problems in developing and measuring combat readiness before, during, and after the Cold War. He analyzes why attempts to maximize it often have counterproductive effects, and how confusions in technical concepts cause political controversy. The book explores conflicts between two objectives that are both vital but work against each other because they compete for resources: operational readiness to fight immediately, and structural readiness—the number of organized units that increase military power, but require time during a crisis to gear up for combat. Betts also discusses the problem brought on by the Cold War and plunging defense budgets: mobilization readiness—the plans and arrangements needed to shorten the time for recreating a large military if it once again becomes necessary. Betts offers new ideas for understanding the dilemmas and tradeoffs that underlie debates on how readiness should be maintained in peacetime, and he explores the strategic consequences of different choices.

Download or read book The Impact of Maintaining a Wartime Readiness Posture written by Philip K. Wessel and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Readiness is a major element in Navy Medicine with medical treatment facilities possessing unique operational missions. Naval Hospital, Jacksonville, Florida (NHJAX) recently became the "ready Fleet Hospital" for the East Coast. Additionally, NHJAX is responsible for having a Medical Augmentation Team ready to assist the USS NASSAU (LHA-4) during operational commitments and contingencies. Assignment to these platforms, as well as other deployment requirements, have the NHJAX staff focusing on wartime readiness and simultaneously maintaining the highest standards while carrying out the peacetime mission providing patient care. In August of 2000, the Deputy Surgeon for the United States Navy tasked many elements of the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (BUMED) with determining the cost of readiness. According to the BUMED Readiness and Resources Divisions, it is the overall command impact of meeting readiness requirements--not simply the dollar cost that must be evaluated. Toward this end, this study evaluated the impact of readiness training on several organizational aspects to include: staff and patient satisfaction, as well as, access to care.
