The military healthcare community must continuously respond to shifts in the operational environment. In recent conflicts, evacuation of casualties occurred rapidly due to air and ground superiority. With future conflicts, in particular Large Scale Combat Operations (LSCO), evacuation may be denied for significant periods of time. Furthermore, LSCO is likely to result in larger numbers of casualties, complicating the task of clearing the battlefield. Beyond battlefield medicine, the military health system must be ready to provide care to servicemembers for nearly all specialties and sub-specialties. The combination of difficult battlefield medicine conditions with broad requirements for medical treatment facility care presents significant challenging. Within this panel, representatives from the Joint healthcare community will present the direction of military healthcare training. This will include representatives associated with battlefield medicine, training within medical treatment facilities, and graduate medical education.
