Preparing for the tough and more lethal battlefields of the future requires today’s Army medical community to look to its schoolhouses and its logistics and research commands, a panel of experts said at an event hosted by the Association of the U.S. Army.
Warfare is changing, but ensuring medical readiness is not a new mission. In crisis, conflict and competition over the past 20 years, the medical generating force has been heavily involved, said Brig. Gen. Wendy Harter, deputy chief of staff, G-3/5/7, for Army Medical Command.
“We’ve had medical forces engaged in everything from building partner capacity to humanitarian assistance, disaster response and combat operations, [and] the operating force and the generating force are, really, inextricably linked,” she said Dec. 7 during a panel at the AUSA Medical Hot Topic titled “Holistic Health and the Soldier.”
