Details
Allied Joint Publication (AJP)-4.10, Allied Joint Doctrine for Medical Support (Edition C Version 1) sets out the fundamental principles required to plan and conduct medical support to operations in all its aspects.
Medical support remains a national responsibility, but in practise North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) commanders have come to share this responsibility during recent operations.
This brings with it a range of additional responsibilities ranging from the treatment of casualties in different operating environments to the implementation of force health protection measures, interactions with civil organisations providing health services to affected populations, and the increased public expectations of high quality outcomes in the treatment of casualties.
Who should read this publication
This publication is intended primarily for commanders and staff at the joint operational level. It also provides guidance for all levels of command and is instructive for coalition and NATO partners.
