explains how the Air Force participates in the Joint Planning and Execution Community (JPEC)
covers the procedures and standards that govern operations planning and execution throughout the Air Force
DAFI 10-401, Air Force Operations Planning and Execution
sets procedures for medical readiness planning, training, exercising and reporting
AFI 41-106, Medical Readiness Program Management

Medical Contingency Response Plan (MCRP)
MCRP teams are established based on
local capabilities and mission requirements
who develops and maintains the individual team response checklist
Team Chiefs
responsible for the 886P package and provides the capability to detect and respond to a biological event
Public Health Team (PHT)
provides commanders with medical intelligence, surveillance, and disease control measures
Public Health Team (PHT)
responsible for disease surveillance and epidemiological response, which includes daily monitoring to identify disease trends
Public Health Officer (PHO)
coordinates with BEE to determine CBRNE threats and limitations of PPE
Public Health Officer (PHO)
describes theory and philosophy of casualty prevention for expeditionary operations
AFTTP 3-42.2, Health Service Support Casualty Prevention for Expeditionary Operations
is a situation requiring military operations in response to natural disasters, terrorists, subversives, or as otherwise directed by appropriate authority to protect US interests
Contingency
A period during which a war is in progress and hostile actions that are intended to kill personnel, destroy equipment, facilities, and reduce the ability of a base to carry out its assigned combat mission
Wartime
Examples of wartime
terrorist use of CBRNE materials
conventional threats (missiles, artillery, mortar, or ground forces).
encompass a wide range of activities used for the purposes other than the large-scale combat operations usually associated with war
MOOTW
is an emergency situation due to an act of nature
Natural disaster
occur directly and indirectly from some human activity
Man-made disasters
military forces used for operations not associated with combat
the operations are sustained during peacetime, disaster relief, and mercy missions
Humanitarian operations
monitor and facilitate implementation of agreements
Peacekeeping
post conflict rebuilding of governments
Peace building
compel compliance with resolutions
Peace enforcement
a cyclic process, used during peacetime conditions, to develop and refine plans for the deployment and employment of assigned forces and resources that occurs in response to a hypothetical situation
Contingency Action Planning
time required for Contingency Action Planning
18 – 24 months
Contingency Action Planning example
preparing to deploy personnel to an OCONUS location, if necessary
typically used when a real-world event happens, and immediate planning or response is required
Crisis Action Planning
time required for Crisis Action Planning
hours to days
Crisis Action Planning examples
a natural disaster
a terror attack within the U.S.
Both types of planning have the same functions listed by the
Joint Operation Planning and
Execution System (JOPES)
Contingency and Crisis Action Planning Functions
Strategic Guidance
Concept Development
Plan Development
Plan Assessment
Contingency and Crisis Action Planning Steps
- Planning Initiation
- Mission Analysis
- Course of Action (COA) Development
- COA Analysis and Wargaming
- COA Comparison
- COA Approval
- Plan or Order Development
provides seamless health service support to USAF and combatant commanders
assists in sustaining the performance, health and fitness of every Airman/Guardian
Air Force Medical Service (AFMS)
primary purpose is to provide warfighter capability
secondary purpose is to provide sustainment capability
Air and Space Expeditionary Force (AEF)
operates on a 24 month cycle that includes training, preparation, and deployment vulnerability
AEF Battle Rhythm
operates under a different battle rhythm
Tempo Band
AFMS mission is accomplished by
the creation of specialized teams and Air Force Specialty Codes (AFSC)
a Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) developed and assigned alpha numeric code consisting of five characters that uniquely identify a “type unit”
Unit Type Code (UTC)
depicts a force/mission capability in terms of personnel and/or cargo
Unit Type Code (UTC)
defines the basic mission capabilities of the UTC
Mission Capability Statement (MISCAP)
gives the purpose of the UTCs, describes their functional tasks and capabilities, explains training requirements, and addresses logistics
Concept of Operations (CONOPS)
Also called commander’s concept
Concept of Operations (CONOPS)
a modular, scalable, and rapid response medical package that can be used in a wide range of operations such as humanitarian relief, wartime contingencies, and disaster response
Expeditionary Medical Support (EMEDS)
is to prevent personnel from becoming casualties due to illness and injury
PH Wartime role
promote and maintain healthy and fit deployed forces through monitoring illnesses and injuries and instituting interventions as needed
DI Surveillance
Reports must be submitted by PH on a weekly basis to
MAJCOM representative
Protective equipment such as the following may be recommended
Hearing protection
Ballistic eye wear
Body armor
Foot protection and other protection devices to prevent injury
provide vital information for all patients seen in the facility; namely the patient’s primary complaint and final diagnosis
Primary Care Teams
must perform disease surveillance while deployed
PH
web-based application available in the MC4 database
Transmission of information
Medical Situational Awareness in the Theater (MSAT)
one of the most important programs to manage while in a deployed environment
Food Safety Program
responsible for ensuring deploying military members are physically qualified to withstand harsh environments while deployed
Force Health Management
must ensure troops understand they must wear the personal protective equipment and practice proper work/rest cycles, in order to prevent occupational illness/injuries
Occupational Health
responsible for gathering all information about an area of responsibility, interpret the data collected, perform a medical threat assessment, and provide education for the deploying members on risk and recommended countermeasures
Medical Intelligence
mission is to provide immediate health care and prevent DI’s
Medical Global Reach Laydown (MGRL)
identify, monitor and prevent future DI’s and control environmental health hazards
Preventive Aerospace Medicine (PAM) Team
designed for rapid deployment and may be deployed in smaller components to meet the needs of the theater surgeon
Theater Epidemiological Team (TET)
This team provides health threat assessments of environmental and occupational factors, DI rates from all sources, and recommends interventions to minimize degradation of combat strength
Theater Epidemiological Team (TET)
provides additional personnel that augment the capability to identify, control, report, and provide treatment for infectious diseases and biological warfare agents in the deployed theater
Infectious Disease Module Team
The PAM teams consist of __ personnel and equipment in __ increments
9
5
increments provide initial personnel capability
FFPM1 and FFPM2
provides expanded capabilities and sustainment for extended operations when the population is between 2,000 and 5,000 or with EMEDS +10
FFPM3
includes portable equipment for the first 30 days
FFPM4
is an equipment-only package that provides sustainment and re-supply in support of a stand-alone PAM team
