Operation Joint Guardian in Kosovo represents one type of military operation that the United States and other nations could be engaged in during the next 25 years. These military operations also carry unique challenges to a senior medical officer (or medical task force commander). In Kosovo, the senior medical officer had to help shape the medical environment as the military coalition sought to restore a safe and secure environment. This article discusses medical engagement strategies specific to Kosovo, where helping to shape the medical environment demanded that the senior medical officer engage with other coalition nations, United Nations (U.N.) agencies, and selected Kosovar health care providers. Successful implementation of the U.N. health care strategy is one of the key elements of U.N. success and the military coalition's exit from Kosovo. The goal of this report is to form a template for medical engagement strategies that a future senior medical officer may use in other similar military operations.
在科索沃开展的“联合卫士行动”是美国和其他国家在未来25年可能参与的一种军事行动类型。这些军事行动也给高级医务官（或医疗特遣部队指挥官）带来了独特的挑战。在科索沃，随着军事联盟努力恢复安全稳定的环境，高级医务官必须协助塑造医疗环境。本文讨论了科索沃特有的医疗参与策略，在那里，协助塑造医疗环境要求高级医务官与其他联盟国家、联合国机构以及选定的科索沃医疗服务提供者进行接触。成功实施联合国医疗保健战略是联合国取得成功以及军事联盟从科索沃撤离的关键要素之一。本报告的目的是形成一个医疗参与策略模板，供未来的高级医务官在其他类似军事行动中使用。
