Leading a deployed combat healthcare system is a very complex task and requires a command and control structure that is a unique blend of technical and tactical expertise to efficaciously deliver world-class medical care to America's sons and daughters. The medical task force in Iraq has successfully managed the transformation of the medical footprint from a tactically arrayed set of disparate medical units to a nascent integrated healthcare system with many features similar to the best healthcare systems in the United States. The American public demands, and Soldiers, Marines, Sailors, Airmen, and Coast Guardsmen deserve US quality medical care, whether they are being treated at a military medical center in the US, or a US medical facility in Iraq. This article presents an overview of the 62nd Medical Brigade's development of the combat healthcare support system during its tenure leading the US medical task force in Iraq.
领导一个部署在战场上的战斗医疗系统是一项非常复杂的任务，需要一个指挥与控制结构，它是技术和战术专业知识的独特融合，以便有效地为美国的儿女们提供世界级的医疗服务。伊拉克的医疗特遣部队已成功地管理了医疗布局的转变，从一组战术上排列的分散医疗单位转变为一个初具雏形的综合医疗系统，该系统具有许多与美国最佳医疗系统相似的特征。美国公众有这样的需求，而陆军、海军陆战队、海军、空军和海岸警卫队队员也理应得到美国高质量的医疗服务，无论他们是在美国的军事医疗中心接受治疗，还是在伊拉克的美国医疗设施中接受治疗。本文概述了第62医疗旅在其领导伊拉克境内美国医疗特遣部队期间，战斗医疗支持系统的发展情况。
