2. CONCEPT: The 1702nd Contingency Hospital (CH), 1702nd Air Refueling Wing
(Provisional), Seeb, Oman, was a third echelon medical treatment facility (MTF)
ultimately tasked to provide primary and tertiary medical care to United States
(U.S.) and allied service members, intra theater specialty referral service to
U.S. military personnel, consultation and personnel packages as needed for
aeromedical evacuation, and preventative and routine health care for base
personnel. This MTF, planned at 250 beds and 6 operating rooms (ORs), and
capable of sustained operations without resupply for 30 days, was operational
for the period of 11 January - 4 March 1991.
