Book excerpt: This United States Army manual, Army Techniques Publication ATP 4-02.10 Theater Hospitalization August 2020, provides a doctrinal foundation for theater hospitalization, as one of the ten medical functions, as well as tactics, techniques, and procedures to plan and employ a Role 3 Army hospital and hospital augmentation organizations within an area of operations. The principal audience for Army Techniques Publication 4-02.10 is commanders, staffs, command surgeons, Army Health System planners, medical force managers, and Army medical personnel and units. Army Medicine's analyses of future Role 3 medical and surgical requirements contrasted with current Role 3 capabilities and led to the development of a new modular hospital organization to replace the combat support hospital. The hospital center's modular design and ability to task-organize requisite medical and surgical capabilities rectifies major drawbacks found in the current combat support hospital. Required revisions in organizational design, medical and surgical capabilities, and ability to perform split or geographically dispersed operations were critical factors in the decision to replace the combat support hospital with the hospital center. This publication was also developed to address hospitalization requirements to support a range of military operations, including large-scale combat as described in Field Manual 3-0. This publication introduces the medical function and the medical care typically associated with hospitalization and then describes the combat support hospital and hospital center's organizational design, mission, rules of allocation, assignment and capabilities, dependencies, mobility, employment, functions, and requirements. The publication also provides essential information pertaining to the medical and surgical teams and detachments that augment the hospital, medical planning factors for medical materiel consumption and replenishment, water requirements for patients and staff, blood requirements and operations, patient and staff nutrition care, and information technology systems utilized by hospitals. The organizational structures and positions presented in this publication are established in tables of organization and equipment. These tables are current at the time of publication. The organization of these units is subject to change in order to comply with manpower requirements criteria. These organizations are also subject to change at the unit level to meet wartime requirements with changes reflected in the units' modified table of organization and equipment.
