The Medical Foreign Area Officer - A Force Multiplier in Future Operations

Abstract

Future operations, especially Operations Other Than War (OOTW), will require close coordination of medical assets in the theater of operation. An in-depth understanding of the culture and medical capabilities of the area of operation will facilitate rapid medical treatment of both military and indigenous populations. This research project will explore the history of medical operations in OOTW, medical demands of future operations, and propose a plan of action for developing medical foreign area officers to support the unified CINCs.
