IA-D3: An Assessment Process for Military Health Support in Stability Operations (MSOs), Enabling Medical Diplomacy for Countering Irregular Threats

Abstract

Currently, there is no standardized operational assessment framework or methodology for the joint services and the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) when assessing medical stability operations (MSOs) and health services support (HSS) planning and execution across the spectrum of conflict. A standardized operational assessment framework that integrates the current MAGTF D3A process and complements the USAID's TCAPF method is both desired and recommended. The proposed Interagency Assessment-D3 (IA-D3-A) process is intended to assist USN, USMC, and interagency healthcare planners or administrators involved in the assessment of and planning of MAGTF MSOs. Implementation of this process aims not only to facilitate enhanced unity of interagency effort in stability operations, but it also seeks to answer the basic questions: "Are we doing things right?" and "Are we doing the right things?"
