Army Medical Department (AMEDD) after-action reviews emerging from
healthcare professionals recently redeployed from Operations
Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom identified units deploying with
insufficient or obsolete medical equipment in their assemblages.
The contents of AMEDD sets, kits, and outfits were not optimal for
full-spectrum operations. Medical materiel accommodation did not
meet clinical demands resulting in upgrades on the fly often
achieved by procurement and fielding outside traditional
supply-procurement systems. A disparity exists between medical
practices in full-spectrum operations and normally accepted
standards of professional medical care. The rapid advance of
medical science has caused a progressive shift of practice away
from the static components held in AMEDD assemblages. This study
answers the question: Does the need exist to change the existing
medical assemblage lifecycle management process in order to
successfully operate in full-spectrum operations? The study leads
to the conclusion that the AMEDD must change its process,
synchronize with commercial product lifecycles, and improve
clinical acceptance. The current process, measured in terms of
years, bears no relationship to the lifecycle of materiel. It is
not agile, versatile or sustainable enough to keep pace with the
ever-changing spectrum of operations and is not responsive to
clinical demands, thus indicating diminished capability.
