File: 970207_aadci_066.txtODS MEDICAL LESSONS LEARNED LOGISTICS CATEGORY LOGISTICS ISSUE NO. 36 AOR MEDLOG Support Prior to MEDSOM Arrival (SGHR ITEM NO. 231) DISCUSSION: Medical re-supply support was not available in the AOR prior to arrival of Army MEDSOM. Local contracts were established. Support also obtained from Pirmasens GE. The Army MEDSOM did not carry common use items contained in the ATH. No concept of operations to re-supply deployed units prior to MEDSOM arriving. RECOMMENDATION: HQ CENTAF develop a resupply CONOPs for the AOR to include period of time prior to arrival of MEDSOM. Plan should address staffing and location of supply points. Location of USAF re-supply points near metropolitan areas will enhance local purchase of some required medical items. Establish an AF liaison team that works with the MEDSOM after arrival to ensure AF requirements are handled properly. Educate liaison team about Army operating procedures is a must. CENTAF/CENTCOM 915XO manpower requirements must be reviewed and updated to ensure sufficient bodies and skill levels are identified to meet all needs within the AOR. ACTIONS REQUIRED: None. The MEDSOM is a joint activity that was being used for the first time. Lessons were learned that will improve future operations. ACTIONS COMPLETED: N/A. STATUS: Recommend closure.
