Integrated CONUS Medical Mobilization Plan: Executive Summary
Abstract
In the Spring of 1985, the Military Construction Subcommittees of both Houses of Congress asked for an integrated plan for CONUS medical mobilization. The thrust of the request was for the Department identify, in priority, which medical facilities needed replacement, repair, or modification; and second, specify the size these facilities should be. A CONUS medical mobilization plan, integrating the requirements and capabilities of each of the Services, should address more than facilities alone. The integration process should highlight the policies, philosophies, procedures, and responsibilities inherent in mobilization activities. Across the Services, policies and procedures differ, little sharing of resources occurs, and dependence upon the Veterans Administration and civil sector has become a significant planning factor for each Service. Essentially, there are three medical departments operating, each attempting to take care of its own, and competing with one another for the available manpower, material, and money.
