What are the 6 principles of the Army Health System? Describe them. - answer-
1.Conformity −Ensures comprehensive AHS support plan conforms to tactical plans
−Medical assets are placed on the battlefield properly
2.Proximity−Provide medical support at the right time and place
−Medical resources used as far forward as possible, without impeding operations
3.Flexibility−Ability to shift AHS resources to meet changing battlefield requirements
−Effectively managing medical resources to benefit greatest number of Soldiers in AO
4.Mobility−AHS assets remain in supporting distance to support maneuvering forces
-Vehicle hardening equal to that of supported unit
5.Continuity−Patient moves through progressive, phased roles of care
−Each Soldier gets care required to optimize outcome
6.Control−Resources efficiently employed
−Ensure scope and quality of medical treatment meets professional standards and
policies
What is a medical estimate? - answer- A continuous process which systematically
examines all aspects of operations

5)Health of the command
6)Facts and Assumptions
7)Specified, Implied, and Essential Tasks

Department of Defense (DOD) personnel
What is analyzed in the Health of the Command area of medical analysis? - answer-
Medical Readiness of the Soldier includes:
Immunizations
Acclimatization
Nutrition

Combat and Operational Stress
Dental Status
What is analyzed in the Facts and Assumptions area of medical analysis? - answer-
Areas to consider in absence of Facts:
Host Nation support
,Resupply rates
Use of weapons of mass destruction
Time-frame of operation
Status of evacuation routes
Who does casualty estimates? - answer- S-1
•Killed in Action (KIA)
•Wounded in Action (WIA)
•Missing in Action (MIA)
Who refines/analyzes the casualty estimate? What is included? - answer- The Medical
Planner
•Number of patients anticipated at each role of care
•Areas of patient density
•Enemy Prisoners of War (EPWs) and civilian patient estimates
•Additional assets needed for patient movement
Personnel and equipment strengths and critical shortages are calculated for what
entities? - answer- •Organic medical assets
•Attached medical elements
•Supporting medical units
•Joint Service and Allied medical units
•Host Nation medical resources
In medical COA development, what must the medical plan do? - answer- Support the
Commander's Intent and enable the accomplishment of the mission for the tactical COA
developed
What must be understood to develop the medical plan for each COA? - answer-
•Commander's Intent
•Tactical Scheme of Maneuver for each COA
•Task Organization of each COA
•Results from medical estimate (previous step)
•Specified, Implied, and Essential Tasks
•Constraints and Limitations
Unit Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs)
What is the focus of the medical planning process? - answer- Quickly develop a flexible,
