Capability Gap Closure Analysis
Abstract
On the battlefield, warfighters are faced with multiple threats and, although significant advances have been made in combat casualty care over the course of recent conflicts, continued research is needed to save lives and improve outcomes for those injured in current and future operations. The Combat Casualty Care Research Program (CCCRP) at the United States Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC) aims to be a leader for trauma care, driving medical innovation to optimize survival and recovery from combat-related injury. The CCCRP plans, programs, budgets, and oversees the execution of efforts focused on reducing morbidity and mortality resulting from combat injuries through collaboration with intramural laboratories and other medical research programs nationwide. To characterize key successes that have been produced by the CCCRP and the impacts of these successes for the warfighter, the Gap Closure Analysis effort was initiated. The goal of the effort was to identify and characterize successful solutions, products, or capabilities for combat casualty care use that resulted from research and development (R and D) efforts under the following CCCRP portfolios.
