1.2.5 Ability of MTF Emergency Operations Center (EOC) representatives to perform required medical

Emergency Support Function roles (e.g. Emergency Support Function (ESF) 8), manage essential elements of information, track medical resource and information needs routed to the EOC, monitor patient tracking and movement data for patients transported from the incident scene to the MTF and to off-base facilities for care, and support the medical representative to the Crisis Action Team (CAT).

1.2.6 Ability of the Patient Administration (PAD) Team to conduct patient tracking activities on 100% of victims from the incident scene, communicate patient numbering data to the MCC, perform medical administration documentation for patients transported to the MTF, locate patient evacuation routes for all victims transported off base, and provide patient tracking data to the MCC and MTF/CC as requested.

1.2.7 Ability of the Clinical Team to respond to a major mass casualty incident, integrate AS 886L (Clinical) capabilities into MCRP procedures, and provide clinical response, which includes treatment of casualties, reporting patient casualties to the MCC, stabilization of casualties awaiting emergency transport, clinical sample collection, assisting in coordination with civilian treatment facilities, hospitalization of victims, prophylaxis dispensing, and disposition of casualties after emergency treatment.
