AUGMENTED AFLOAT MEDICAL ASSETS
FLEET SURGICAL TEAMS (FSTs)FSTs augment primary CRTS. They are distinct, freestanding,(non-BSO 18) assets of the Atlantic and Pacific Fleets operatingforces with their own UIC, and permanent OIC-coded billets. TheADCON ISIC is Expeditionary Health Servises (EHS) PAC or LANTand COMPHIBGRU3 and the OPCON ISIC is typicallyCOMPHIBRON, the CATF (Commodore). When not aboard theship, the FST members are ADDU to a regional MTF with the
Admin cell at PHIBGRU.
MISSIONProvide medical and surgical support, level II HSS capabilities, todesignated operating forces (CRTS) of the Atlantic and PacificFleets during Fleet and Fleet Marine Force (FMF) exercises androutine deployment of CATF/ESG.

are assigned to the CRTS upon request and approval of OPNAVN931and BUMED.
MISSION
Required Operational Capability (ROC) and Projected OperationalEnvironment (POE), for the LHA/LHD provides surgical capability offour ORs, 15 ICU/Recovery beds, 45 ward/holding beds, and ablood bank capacity of 500+ frozen blood units, FFP and a walkingblood bank. The M+1 mission is to meet the ROC/POErequirements of the medical department. Additionally, these assetsmay be used for humanitarian and disaster relief missions.
TRAININGAppropriate military training of medical personnel is the cornerstonefor effective force health protection. Military readiness training mustinclude any possible contingency from medical support in combatand homeland defense to humanitarian assistance (HA) anddisaster relief (DR). Medical personnel identified as M+1augmentees shall perform a minimum of 5 days of medicalreadiness training during each training cycle. Military Departmentsshall program for medical personnel to physically train at least onceevery other training cycle with their designated operational unit andequipment. Training for the M+1 Augmentees is coordinated bySurface Warfare Medicine Institute, EHSPAC/LANT, MTF(POMI/MMPO and senior leadership), SMO and medicaldepartment of identified LHA/LHD and FST.

The Shipboard Surgical System is the shipboard equivalent of aForward Resuscitative Surgical System (FRSS). It is designed tobe available on small combatants that do not have inherent surgicalcapabilities. In the Global War on Terror, this capability is ideal forMaritime Interdiction Operations (MIOs), shipboard seizures andother small scale operations.
SSS team is a six to eight member team of surgeons, ICU nursesand hospital corpsman from Shipboard Surgical Teams (SST)/FleetSurgical Teams (FST) who are able to rapidly set up and providecritical care for Sailors and Marines injured during MIO. It isdesigned to be extremely mobile, and clinically capable of providing
Level II minus emergency care, resuscitation and surgery for 5casualties, repeat interventions and a holding time of up to 72hours. Set up times may vary but it generally takes 45 minutes toset up on the mess deck. It is configured to use backup suppliesfrom the host ship but will not deplete the ships AMMAL below50%.
The Triple S team and equipment offer an opportunity to expandresuscitative or trauma care in nontraditional settings in support ofMIOs or significant trauma risk from small scaleoperations/missions. Two units have been constructed anddelivered to the U.S. Seventh Fleet. A total of 6 SSS units will beassembled and maintained for rapid deployment, but may bereplaced with ERSS (below).
Expeditionary Resuscitative Surgical System
(ERSS)At the time of this publication, ERSS has not been fullyimplemented. A highly responsive, mobile and flexible system oftrained personnel and equipment to provide tailored, missionspecific medical capability, close to the point of injury, that supportsthe range of military operations afloat and ashore. Focus is onhaving immediate life and limb saving surgery, trauma care, medicalevacuation and en-route care, at or near combat operations. Thiswill be an expansion of the SSS initiative and existing FST, able tosupport split operations, special operations, etc.

The ERSS will be made up of 4 interacting components based uponthe Fleet Surgical Team (FST) with Health Service AugmentationProgram (HSAP) personnel, as noted below:
1. Shipboard Surgical Team (SST):Fleet Surgical Team (FST) and Ships company to provide modularresuscitative surgery on a LHA/LHD.
2. Expeditionary Surgical Team (EST):Provides forward initial emergency (damage control) surgery;capable of functioning from a small platform or from a shore basedposition. 1 GS, 1 Anesthesia provider, 1 CCN, 1 OR Tech.
Provides Level II minus to a Level I platform.
3. Expeditionary Trauma Team (ETT):Provides initial emergency life and limb saving actions, capable offunctioning from a small platform or shore based position. 1 EMphysician, 1 PA, 1 IDC
4. En-Route Care Team (ERCT):Provides treatment of patients during movement betweencapabilities in the continuum of care. 1 CCN and 1 Flight Medic(HM)

Frozen Blood Capabilities:
Disclaimer: Blood and blood products capabilities are dependent onprojected operational environment, type of deployment, availability of
products, equipment capacity aboard ships, and medical personnelmanning (FST, M+1).
* We are not licensed by the FDA for frozen platelets, therefore referencesto platelets should include if available since the five-day shelf life means
providing them may be impossible. The ASBPO will probably not meet
theater needs until platelets with longer shelf life are available or frozenplatelets become licensed.
PLANNING FACTORS AND ISSUES: Four units of red blood cells per initial admission of each WIA
and DNBI. One technician and four cell washers can deglycerolize 96
units of frozen blood cells in 24 hours. Assign staff for 12-hourshifts and 7-day work weeks.

There is NO FROZEN BLOOD RESUPPLY TO SHIPS. Oncefrozen red cells are used by the LHDs, LHAs, and T-AHs,expect no additional frozen blood from the blood productdepots (BPDs). Frozen blood is a transition into liquid blood;count on it for the first few days until the liquid blood pipeline isestablished. Hence, the early establishment of the pipeline ofBSUs, BTCs, AJBPO, and JBPO is imperative. Frozen redblood cells should be incorporated into the routine inventory sothat the medical staff is familiar with its use.
Walking Blood Bank: This is a tertiary source of blood (i.e., tobe used only after liquid and frozen blood sources have been
depleted (CNSF 6000.1 series). However, walking blood bankresponse should be checked frequently. Activate the WalkingBlood Bank (or parts of it) during mass-casualty drills.Activating the walking blood donor program requires follow upof recipients by BUMED and the medical treatment facilitywhere the ship is home ported. All transfusion records shouldbe turned over to the medical treatment facility responsible forsupporting the ship in homeport.
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: Meet OPNAV 6530.4Arequirements: Save the donor card, a frozen plasma sample,and the correct donor / unit numbers. Report transfusions onships to BUMED Navy Blood Program Office and the medicaltreatment facility where the ship is home ported for subsequenttracking in the future. This is a BIG ISSUE now, especiallywith HIV, HTLV, and hepatitis C.
Prior to deployment, acquire all message go-bys for bringingblood to the ship if needed (a task for the senior advanced labtech).
BLOOD SUPPORT ACTIVITIES
Blood Resources Management and SupportJoint Blood Program Office - Each unified command has beenrequested by the Armed Services Blood Program Office todesignate a joint health office to implement DOD blood programpolicies and coordinate the blood programs of the unified commandcomponents. The JBPO will be the single interface with the ArmedServices Blood Program Office in CONUS. Normally, the JBPO will
-
8/3/2019 Fmpr Final 2008
17/121
15
collocate with the Theater Patient Movement Requirement Center(TPMRC). The JBPO will redistribute blood among regions in thetheater and will request blood supply from CONUS. The JPBO willsubmit a daily blood situation report to the Armed Services BloodProgram Office during the contingency using the appropriate format(Annex A). Information copies will be provided to each AJBPO andother agencies as required.
Area Joint Blood Program Office - Unified commands have beenrequested by the Armed Services Blood Program Office to establishAJPBOs as required. They will implement the unified commandblood program policies, coordinate the blood programs of the
unified command components within their area, and manage bloodproducts in the assigned BTC. Normally, the AJPBO will collocatewith the Area TPMRC. The AJPBO will redistribute blood amongcomponents in the theater or request blood supply from the JBPO.The AJBPO will submit a daily blood situation report to the JPBOusing the appropriate format (Annex A). Information copies will beprovided to each component blood products depot unit and otheragencies as appropriate.
Blood Transshipment Centers - The USAF operates the BTCs.The USAF is planning to staff and equip these centers to store andissue up to 3,600 units each of liquid and frozen blood products ona daily basis. Determining the numbers and locations of the centersis a responsibility of the unified command and will be adequate tosupport each unified command components blood requirements onan area basis. Normally, the Navy or Marine Corps will arrangetransportation to obtain blood from the BTC for Navy or Marine
Corps units. Blood issue to the Navy and Marine Corps will bebased on a daily allocation system established by the theaterJMBO. The allocations will be modified as required.
Frozen Blood Depots - The Navy operates one frozen blood depotin Sigonella, Sicily, and one in Okinawa, Japan. These depots havethe capability to store 40,000 and 10,000 units of frozen blood,respectively. Each depot has one Medical Service Corps officer,Naval Officer Billet Code 0866; one enlisted technician, NavyEnlisted Classification 8506; and four civilian technicians, GS-644-04/05. These depots will provide frozen blood products toappropriate medical platforms upon direction by the AJBPO. The
-
8/3/2019 Fmpr Final 2008

16
Army is also planning to establish frozen blood depots to store atotal of 75,000 units of frozen blood products. The USAF isplanning to store 50,000 units of frozen blood in Armed ServicesWhole Blood Processing Laboratories in CONUS.
Blood Supply Units - The Navy and Marine Corps will establishBSUs as recommended by the JBPOs. Personnel at these supplypoints will, upon direction by the AJBPO, arrange or providetransportation for blood products from the BTCs to the BSUs andthen coordinate shipment to Navy or Marine Corps field medicalunits, Fleet Hospitals, and ships. The following units are likely tofunction as BSUs:
Frozen blood depots. USMC units where medical personnel are responsible for
coordinating blood and clinical fluids support. FSSG detachments in the theater of operations. Blood processing centers at Naples, Italy; Rota, Spain; and in
the United Kingdom.
Medical Field Refrigerator - A lightweight, refrigerated blood box(NSN 410-01-287-7111) operating from direct or alternating current,containing 30 to 50 units of red blood cells. It has been shipped tothe field medical supply activities by the Defense Personnel SupportCenter.
Frozen Blood Container - The USAF developed a shipping andstorage container for frozen blood products to transport themwithout dry ice. It can be ordered through the local medical stock.The stock number is 814013571551 on the Management DataListing.
Blood Box Management - Whenever possible, blood will betransported from blood supply points in boxes provided by theintended recipient. When the recipient has no box, attempt will bemade to return boxes used to ship blood to the blood supply point orto exchange empty for full boxes.
Frozen Blood Management - Assure that Standard OperatingProcedure (SOP) is clear on the new USAF frozen blood containerand explains the proper handling of the eutectic solutions. To reuse
-

the solutions, they must be COMPLETELY thawed to roomtemperature and then refrozen at 65C or lower.
Communications - All blood reports and blood shipment reportsare sent using standard Armed Services Blood Program Officevoice, message, and/or computer-generated blood report formats.The US Message Text Format is the basis for voice and messageblood reports. The Armed Services Blood Program Office plans tohave the Defense Systems Support Command automate the ASBPblood banks by developing the Defense Blood Standard System.The Theater Army Medical Management Information System hasbeen designated to automate Army activities in the theater and
modernized to support the Navy Fleet Hospitals as the FleetHospital blood bank module. Any computer systems purchased forCONUS blood collection stations will be compatible with theDefense Blood Standard System, and computer systems purchasedfor OCONUS MTFs shall be compatible with the Theater ArmyMedical Management Information System. The Armed ServicesBlood Program Office requires that the Theater Army MedicalManagement Information System and the Defense Blood StandardSystem also be compatible.
Walking Blood Bank - SOP will be clear that blood from walkingdonors is collected properly. OPNAV instruction require completionof donor cards, saving of frozen blood samples, and correct donor /unit numbers to identify the donor card, donor frozen sample, andunit number. This allows the donated units to be tested for HIV,HCV, etc., to be accurately accomplished.
Pre-qualifying walking donors in CONUS military blood banks justprior to deployment is a method used by some deploying units.However, regardless of pre-qualification, SOP must be followed foreach donated unit.

Resuscitation fluids: Ringers Lactate, human albumin.Blood / blood products: Liquid / frozen blood, fresh frozenplasma, platelet concentrate.
Operational Aspects - The CATF/CLF Surgeon will assess bloodresources / requirements daily and report to the AJBPO. The CATFSurgeon will coordinate blood and fluid support for the medicalbattalion from the CRTS, using medical field refrigerators andstandard blood boxes. When the CRTSs leave the amphibious opsarea, the medical battalion must rely on the medical logisticscompany or the AJBPO for blood. If no liquid blood is available,blood may be harvested from LF personnel or from the ships crew
(before leaving the amphibious ops area).
Shock-Trauma Platoon - Each STP can draw 240 units of bloodand can process and crossmatch 1,000 units. Each STP can store120 units in field refrigerators. Occasionally, a STP may beaugmented with a surgical support platoon, which has a blood bankcapacity equivalent to that of a STP.
Amphibious Assault - Personnel responsible for management ofclinical fluids and blood products will report to the CATF Surgeon orLF Surgeon daily. Consider locating a clinical fluids squad with theSurgical Company and a clinical fluids platoon with the MedicalLogistics Company. These squads can thaw and wash frozenblood and receive and distribute liquid blood. Submit daily bloodreports to the AJBPO. The CRTS will supply thawed and washedusing standard blood boxes and medical field refrigerators. Frozenblood will be transported in the new shipping and storage containers
for frozen blood. Prior to the CRTS leaving the amphibious opsarea, or the blood supply aboard the CRTS being depleted, the CLFSurgeon will request more blood / blood products from the AJBPO.
Surgical Company - If liquid or frozen blood is unavailable orunobtainable, each Surgical Company has the capability to draw720 units and process and cross-match 3,000 units. Storagecapability in current field refrigerators is 360 units.
Organizational Aspects - Resuscitation fluids and blood productstransported ashore will be handled by the STP, the evacuationplatoon at the Beach Evacuation Station, the helicopter support

team evacuation station, and medical personnel charged withcoordinating blood / clinical fluids for the Surgical or MedicalLogistics Company. The CLF Surgeon or representative willmanage blood resources and requirements. If frozen blood isneeded on the beachhead, deglycerolize it on the LHA / LHD andthen ship it ashore.
Transportation - Resuscitation fluids and blood products will betransported ashore primarily by helicopters dispatched to evacuatecasualties. A secondary means is ground vehicle landing craft oramphibious landing craft. Transport of resuscitation fluids forwardto regimental and BAS will be by any means available, depending
heavily on vehicles used for medical evacuation. Additional deliverymethods - Navy emergency air cargo delivery systems, low-altitudeparachute extraction systems, and high-speed low-altitude - havebeen successfully tested and may be available. Blood productsrequested from and assigned by the AJBPO can be picked up ordelivered by helicopter from the nearest BSU or BTC assigned bythe AJBPO.

Operational Procedures
COMMUNICATIONS
DISCUSSIONAs the CATF/ESG Surgeon/SMO/SMDR you will need tocommunicate with other providers in your task group regarding
patients, patient transfers, and to ask or provide advice to otherproviders and or commanding officers therefore you need to havesome understanding of what type of communications are availableto you (your ship). Establish a good rapport with PHIBRON, MEUand ships communication officers. Ask for a brief tour of thecommunications capabilities that are available prior to you actuallyneeding the services. These people are professional and they findcreative solutions to help Medical get in touch with the outside worldor other units.
PATIENT CONFIDENTIALITYA communication net is not private. Everyone from the Commodoreto the sailor or marine on watch is listening. When conducting

Nets used for normal deployment on a day to day basis:
SATHICOM: The SATellite HIgh-level COMmunication circuit isused to pass essential information to and from an echeloncommander. SATHICOM is guarded (monitored) by all underwayunits and shore stations and is one of the most essential andreliable of voice circuits.
NAVY RED: a UHF net, using l ine-of-sight voice, used for shortrange (within 30 miles) communication. Navy Red is a high-priority
circuit for ships traveling in close range to pass specific informationsuch as operational maneuvers, exercises, and emergencies. Allships must guard this circuit while underway. This is the mostfrequently used net while deployed. Most of the medicalemergencies from other ships will be heard on this net.
ESG/CSG Command Net: a satellite voice circuit for long-rangecommunications for ships traveling within a specific group(ESG/CSG). Only ships in the group are assigned satellite accesswill maintain a guard for this circuit. This circuit allows ships in thegroup to separate and still maintain reliable communications.
SIPRNET CHAT: a secured form of instant messaging that isguarded by all underway units and shore stations and is one of themost essential and reliable means of communication. SIPR CHATcan be used at a set time as a means of group discussion ofmedical issues afloat. Due to SIPR CHAT being located on the HI-SIDE a secret clearance is required.
Nets used for wartime or contingency purposes:
Medical Regulating Net Afloat (HF)MED-REG-NET provides communication between the task forcemedical regulating control officer (ESG MRCO) in the medicalregulating center (MRC) and the medical regulating teams (MRT)afloat and ashore regarding current information on the capabilitiesof the different medical facilities. Priorities of patient evacuation andpatient tracking occur in this net. The quality of the Med Reg Nethas been a difficult recurrent issue for the task force medicaldepartment. This net does not just happen. Close interaction and

attention by the CATF Surgeon with all the communication officersis required.
Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Alert/Broadcast Net(HF)For alert warnings or general traffic pertaining to all units assignedto the net. It is also used for passing Nuclear-Biological-Chemical(NBC) warnings.
Color Beach Administrative Net (HF)The CBAN is for passing administrative information, requestingsupplies and equipment, coordinating supply and equipmentdeliveries to specific beaches, and evacuating casualties from
landing beaches.Tactical Air Request - Helicopter Request [TAR-HR], (HF, VHF)For forward ground combat units to request immediate air supportfrom the tactical air control center (TACC) or the direct air supportcenter (DASC). Intermediate ground combat echelons monitor thisnet and may modify, disapprove, or approve a specific request. TheTACC / DASC use this net to brief the requesting unit on the detailsof the mission and may pass along target damage assessmentsand emergency helicopter requests. In the initial stages of anamphibious operation or any Marine Expeditionary Force (SpecialOperations Capable) [MEU(SOC)] operation, this may be the onlynet the unit can use.Helicopter Direction Net [HD], (UHF, VHF, HF): used by theHelicopter Direction Center (HDC) for positive control of inboundhelicopters in the amphibious objective area (AOA). This is whereinbound casualty details can be found; it is monitored in the flagshipHDC.

DEFENSE SUPPORT CIVIL AUTHORITIES (DSCA)
DSCA: Refers to Department of Defense support provided byFederal military forces, DOD Civilians and contract personnel, andDOD agencies and components, in response to requests forassistance during domestic incidents to include terrorist threats orattacks, major disasters, and other emergencies. NationalResponse Plan December 2005
Two circumstances exist for DOD providing Defense Support toCivil Authorities:
In emergency circumstances, such as managing theconsequences of a terrorist attack, major disaster, or otheremergency, DOD could be asked to act quickly to providecapabilities that other agencies do not possess or that havebeen exhausted or overwhelmed.
In non-emergency circumstances of limited scope or plannedduration, DOD could be tasked to plan for and support civilauthorities where other Federal agencies have the lead forexample, providing security at a special event such as theOlympics, or assisting other Federal agencies to developcapabilities to detect chemical, biological, nuclear, andradiological threats.
Under the provisions of the Stafford Act, DOD support for disasterrelief must be requested. (The other principal statute under whichDOD provides emergency support is the Economy Act, under whichany Federal agency can request support on a reimbursable basisfrom DOD.)

Amphibious Task Force CRTSsAfter troops debark for ship-to-shore movement, specific ships ofthe ESG/ATF are designated as primary CRTSs to provide EchelonII HSS to the LF during amphibious operations. Primary CRTSs(LHA/LHD) have laboratory (including blood) and radiologycapability to support surgical suites. During amphibious ops,primary CRTSs are staffed as necessary to provide extensivetrauma support. The CATF/ESG may designate amphibious shipsas secondary CRTSs. These may include any class ship with thecapability to receive and treat casualties, if appropriate medicalmateriel and personnel are available to provide resuscitative care.Ships normally designated as secondary CRTSs include LPD, LSD,and LCC class ships.
LHA [Amphibious Assault Ship (General Purpose)]The LHA can transport approximately 1,900 troops along with thehelicopters, boats, and amphibious vehicles required for landingthem. LHAs are capable of receiving casualties from helicopter andwaterborne craft and are designed to function as primary CRTSs inamphibious operations. The LHA(R) is expected to replace the LHAin the future.
LHD [Amphibious Assault Ship (Multi-Purpose)]The LHD is the newest, largest, and most versatile amphibiousassault ship. Externally, it resembles an aircraft carrier.
