The evolving strategy of the United States in dealing with the changing world order calls for a force structure capable of fighting and winning two nearly simultaneous major regional conflicts and conducting a range of other military operations. Readiness is a key factor in this new strategy. Consequently, major paradigm shifts are occurring within the Air Force Medical Service. Maintaining current and accurate medical records on personnel to meet deployment requirements is a significant challenge. Historically, time and resources are consumed determining the deployability of troops prior to a deployment. This adds to the cost of doing business and increases the time required to clear the deploying team, even though there is an established process to avoid these very problems. The experience of a recent medical team deployment to Bosnia is discussed. Future directions given the implementation of TRI-CARE, the Preventive Health Assessment Program, and the Strategic Health Resourcing Plan are also considered.
美国应对不断变化的世界秩序的演变战略要求具备一种部队结构，能够打赢两场几乎同时发生的重大地区冲突，并开展一系列其他军事行动。战备状态是这一新战略的关键因素。因此，空军医疗服务部门正在发生重大的范式转变。维护人员的最新和准确医疗记录以满足部署要求是一项重大挑战。从历史上看，在部署之前确定部队的可部署性会消耗时间和资源。这增加了运营成本，延长了部署团队的准备时间，尽管有既定流程来避免这些问题。文中讨论了最近一个医疗队部署到波斯尼亚的经验。还考虑了实施三军医疗保健计划、预防性健康评估计划和战略卫生资源计划后的未来发展方向。
