Joint Medical Distance Support & Evacuation (JMDSE)
Abstract
The Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) validated the capability need for JMDSE in FY 2009. The outcome of JMDSE will demonstrate capabilities mitigating problems associated with low density, high demand casualty evacuation forces; provide virtual/distant triage capability on a noncontiguous battlefield; extend care of medical forces; and provide medical reach-back from first responder to forward resuscitative care facilities. The primary outputs to be demonstrated include battlefield telemedicine, precision aerial delivery of small quantities of critical medical supplies and equipment for casualties in hostile and inaccessible areas. The efficiencies to be gained include: less costly and timelier delivery of critical medical supplies and casualty care equipment; improved battlefield care of casualties; reduced health risk to personnel on the battlefield. The transition strategy includes inclusion of precision aerial medical delivery systems, medical kits, and telemedicine capability in theater-based programs of record. The sponsoring combatant command is US Joint Forces Command and the executive agent is OSD Health Affairs.
