A Policy Analysis of U.S. Army Professional Filler System (PROFIS) Sourcing Management at the Regional Medical Command Level in Support of an Expeditionary Army at War
Abstract
The United States has been involved in the Global War on Terrorism as well as in its own Transformation since 2001. The Great Plains Regional Medical Command (GPRMC) has been charged with providing medical support during this evolutionary time period. Unfortunately, due to the increase in mission tasking requirements over this extended period of time, this mission has become almost untenable. The increased deployment requirements being placed on active duty Professional Filler System (PROFIS) providers and the risks associated with reoccurring deployments have increased the chance of GPRMC mission failure. The purpose of this study was to analyze the current GPRMC policy concerning PROFIS management and the current expeditionary Army at War. This analysis will include an examination of the current PROFIS sourcing and tasking methodology, using PROFIS tasking data from FY 2004, and use that analysis to develop a methodology to accurately manage this resource within the region. The resulting process should reduce the turbulence in the distribution of PROFIS taskings and allow for regional visibility. The goal of this study is to have the resulting process be utilized not only by this Regional Medical Command (RMC), but by all RMCs in the U.S. Army Medical Command (MEDCOM).
