Army Medical Department and Full Spectrum Operations

Army operational doctrine addresses the range of full spectrum operations across the spectrum of conflict. Full spectrum operations include offensive, defensive, stability, and support operations. Missions in any environment require Army forces who are prepared to conduct any combination of these operations. The purpose of this monograph is to examine the Army Medical Department's ability to support full spectrum operations in accordance with current doctrine, given the assessment of current and future operational environment. The characteristics of mobility and flexibility are used as evaluation criteria.
