Proposal Statement
The National Guard lacks a readily deployable, self-contained, portable medical clinics are a multipurpose and agile asset ideally suited to support several different types of National Guard missions. These medical clinics are an effective solution to overcoming community or regional health care capability gaps in the Homeland when natural or man-made disasters significantly stress or destroy existing health care resources and infrastructure. They provide the National Guard with a means of maintaining troop health and preserving medical skills retention for all levels of National Guard medical professionals, thus enhancing overall unit medical capability and mission readiness.
Recommendation Information
The National Guard is often called upon to provide disaster relief efforts in the U.S. following a large scale natural or man-made disaster. Mobile clinics are deployable on short notice and can be shipped to any region, including those with limited, damaged, or even non-existent medical infrastructure. Mobile, turnkey medical clinics that are durable against the elements and that are self-sufficient in their operation make them ideal for disaster response missions and can help close critical medical capability gaps to areas that are stricken by large scale disasters. mobile clinics would not only enhance the unit’s mission readiness by supporting the medical needs of the National Guard soldiers, but also offer the National Guard an ideal opportunity for maintaining skills proficiency for all levels of National Guard Medical Providers (Physicians, Dentists, Physician Assistants, Nurses, Medics, and Medical Technicians). Readily accessible and fully operational mobile clinics allow medical providers to get the necessary clinical and laboratory sets and reps for patient care in a deployed environment. Additionally, the same skill retention benefits are available for host nation medical practitioners, who may be working side-by-side with U.S. National Guard medical personnel for shared learning experiences, thus improving medical readiness for both teams and fostering interoperability. Troop medical support, medical skills proficiency, and coalition partner interoperability benefit overall medical readiness for the National Guard.
