standards, provides consultation and reach back capabilities to the DHA, provides
oversight over medical care to soldiers, civilians and detainees
Analyzes the medical requirements before, during, and after all phases of an operation
Conducts medical estimate (mission analysis) as the tactical staff conducts MDMP
