  * Augmentation detachments with specific clinical specialties can be adapted to better support the
  mission.
  * The hospitalization capability can be built up or scaled down based on the tactical situation.
  10-17. Deployability and adaptability:
  * The initial hospital capability is a 100 percent mobile field hospital (32 bed) and is dependent on
  the HHD, hospital center for transportation support.
  * Each element and hospital augmentation detachment has a separate TOE.
  * Each hospital augmentation detachment is designed to expand the capabilities and increase the
  capacities of the field hospital (32 bed).
  * Commanders can tailor the medical forces to support unified land operations, matching the
  anticipated mix of capabilities and medical specialties to the population supported and the clinical
  challenges they present.
  HOSPITAL CENTER COMPONENTS AND EMPLOYMENT
  10-18. This section will be discussing hospital center employment.
  HEADQUARTERS AND HEADQUARTERS DETACHMENT, HOSPITAL CENTER
  10-19. The HHD, hospital center provides command and control, consultation services, for up to two
  functioning, dual-based, field hospitals (32 bed) and requisite augmentation detachments, with a combined
  maximum of 240 beds. Medical command and control for hospitalization in more than one location presents
  unique HSS support planning requirements. The distance between hospital elements as well as requisite
  surgical and bed requirements for each location have a significant impact on the planning and employment
  process. Medical planners may want to consider employing two HHD, hospital centers if the operations do
  not allow adequate command and control, senior medical consultation, and adequate transportation to
  transport the hospital center during deployment or moves.
  10-20. The HHD, hospital center is dependent on the field hospital (32 bed) for administrative support,
  feeding, unit level maintenance, security, power and classes of supply.
  FIELD HOSPITAL (32 BED)
  10-21. The field hospital (32 bed) is the corner stone of the deployed hospital. It represents the smallest
  hospital element with complete requisite clinical capabilities of a Role 3 MTF. This hospital is deliberately
  designed to be self-supporting while remaining light, highly mobile, and expandable. Combinations of the
  modular units within the hospitalization capability would be suitable to support peacetime military
  engagements, limited intervention, peace operations and irregular warfare.
  10-22. Capable of providing complete Role 3 hospitalization under the command and control of the HHD,
  hospital center with a 72-hour basic load of medical and nonmedical supplies. Hospitalization for up to 32
  patients consisting of one ward providing intensive care nursing for up to twelve patients (ten beds are fully
  equipped for patients requiring the most intensive monitoring/care) and one ward providing intermediate care
  nursing for up to twenty patients. Provides emergency treatment to receive, triage, and prepare incoming
  patients for surgery. Surgical capability consisting of general, orthopedic, obstetrical/gynecological surgery
  based on two operating tables staffed for 36 operating table hours per day. Provides pharmacy and clinical
  laboratory services to include: limited basic microbiology screening, blood banking, computed tomography
  and radiology services. The field hospital (32 bed) provides personnel administration, patient administration,
  logistical, nutrition care services, and a hospital ministry team for hospital staff and patients.
  10-23. The field hospital (32 bed), as an individual unit, was not designed to perform split based operations
  for a sustained period of time. If the capabilities of the field hospital (32 bed) are required in a two locations
  then two field hospitals and requisite hospital augmentation detachments will be required to support the
  medical plan.
