Developing an operational casualty estimate in a multinational headquarters to inform and drive medical resource allocation (original) (raw)

U.S. Army Medical Department journal, 2012

Abstract

This article presents a methodology to construct an operational casualty estimate for insurgent clearance operations conducted in 2 districts around Kandahar City appropriate for a multinational operational headquarters. It demonstrates how to identify relevant and recent historical data to establish a casualty rate, apply it against a tactical operational sequence and population at risk to get a daily casualty estimate, and compare that estimate to the capacity of the medical system. This allows medical planners from any contributing nation to express the medical risk and mitigation plan to operational leadership and the commander.
