  2-118. To facilitate monitoring clinical operations of subordinate MTFs, the clinical operations section
  determines what reports are required, formats to be used, and at what frequency the reports will be submitted.
  The intratheater patient movement center receives bed status reports and requests for medical regulating and
  evacuation which should include the clinical operations section on distribution. The S-4 receives medical
  supply status from all subordinate facilities which the clinical operations section must review to determine if
  the medical supply status of subordinate facilities will adversely impact patient care. Additionally, he may
  develop a medical situation report for the clinical aspects of subordinate MTF operations to remain apprised
  of daily or weekly operations. The clinical operations section also receives medical situation reports from
  forward deployed FSTs or FRSDs to determine if reconstitution, replacement, and reinforcement of these
  assets is required. This report also provides information on the types of surgical cases that will require follow-
  on surgery at subordinate MEDBDE (SPT) hospitals.
  MEDICAL BATTALION (MULTIFUNCTIONAL)
  2-119. Force structure changes occurring within the modular Army necessitated a redesign of the functional
  medical battalions (area support, MEDEVAC, and MEDLOG) into a multifunctional organization. The
  medical battalion (multifunctional) is an EAB headquarters. This unit provides command and control,
  administrative assistance, logistical support, and technical supervision for assigned and attached medical
  functional organizations (companies, detachments, and teams) task-organized for support to deployed forces
  operating within the area of responsibility. Modularity has resulted in a smaller deployed medical footprint
  through enhancing the capability to rapidly task-organize scalable medical capabilities. The medical
  battalion (multifunctional) can be deployed to provide command and control of medical forces during early
  entry operations and facilitate the reception, staging, onward movement, and integration of theater medical
  forces. All EAB medical companies, detachments, and teams in theater may be assigned, attached, or placed
  under the OPCON of a medical battalion (multifunctional). The medical battalion (multifunctional) is a
  subordinate command and control of the MEDBDE (SPT) and/or MEDCOM (DS). Refer to Figure 2-10 (on
  page 2-31) for notional deployed MMB.
  MISSION, ASSIGNMENT, AND BASIS OF ALLOCATION
  2-120. The mission of the MMB is to provide scalable, flexible, and modular medical command and control,
  administrative assistance, logistical support, and technical supervision capability for assigned and attached
  medical functional organizations (companies, detachments, and teams) task-organized for support of
  deployed BCTs and EAB forces.
  2-121. This TOE will be assigned to the MEDBDE (SPT) or the MEDCOM (DS). An MMB is allocated
  as one per combination of three to six subordinate medical companies/medical detachments size units. This
  basis of allocation is computed on the aggregate of total companies, detachments, and teams assigned or
  attached. This unit is designated a Category II unit. (For unit categories, see AR 71-32). Refer to Figure 2-
  11 (on page 2-32) for MMB organizational structure.
