Signal Operations In A Combat Support Hospital

Abstract

As the senior communication NCO in a Combat Support Hospital, it was my responsibility to maintain communications over many platforms. FM communications, NIPER and SIPER nets, Omni Track System, Private Branch Exchange phone system, commercial off the shelf radios, and Very Small Aperture Terminal are the systems that were required to operate a Combat Support Hospital. Along with the equipment, that I was responsible for, there was also a requirement to maintain Air Force communication equipment. Towards the middle of the deployment, two major events happen. First was the integration of the British military hospital with the Combat Support Hospital. Second was moving the hospital from a Deployable Medical System to a fixed facility.
