Introduction
The material presented in this publication reflects enduring practices in providing timely AHS support to the tactical commander. This publication depicts AHS operations from the point of injury or wounding through successive roles of care within the area of operations and evacuation to the continental United States-support base.
As the Army’s AHS doctrine statement, this publication identifies medical functions and procedures that are essential for operations covered in other Army Medicine proponent manuals. This publication depicts AHS operations from the point of injury or wounding, through successive roles of care within the area of operations, and evacuation to the continental United States (U.S.)-support base. It presents a stable body of operational doctrine rooted in actual military experience and serves as a foundation for the development of Army Medicine proponent manuals on how the AHS supports unified land operations.
