  CAPABILITIES AND DEPENDENCIES
  2-123. The MMB headquarters is composed of two standard requirements code identified modules (the
  early entry element and the campaign support element) to facilitate the deployment and integration of the
  unit on the time-phased force deployment list. This headquarters conducts operational planning for assigned
  and attached medical functional companies, detachments, and teams. The early entry element can be
  deployed independently or task-organized with a CSH or hospital center as a medical multifunctional task
  force. The MMB headquarters should only be deployed as far forward as the division AO. Even in this
  circumstance, the MMB would remain under the direct command and control of the MEDBDE (SPT) and
  not directly attached to the BCT. Detachments and teams assigned or attached to the MMB may be further
  attached to the brigade support medical company to augment or reconstitute BCT medical elements. The
  array of health care units assigned and attached will vary depending upon mission, enemy, terrain and
  weather, troops and support available, time available, and civil considerations factors. The MMB staff
  structure is depicted in Figure 2-12.
