  Table D-2. Checklist for assessing foreign medical treatment facility capabilities and services
  (continued)
  Does the medical treatment facility have running water? If not, from what source does the staff obtain
  water? Is it potable or does it require treatment before use? Does the medical treatment facility have
  access to sterile water?
  Does the medical treatment facility have a working environmental control system? Heat? Air
  conditioning?
  What sanitation facilities are available in the medical treatment facility? Restrooms for patients and staff?
  Bathtubs/showers for patients? Handwashing stations/capabilities in patient care areas? Disposal
  capabilities for general, medical, and human waste? Disposal capabilities for waste water?
  Does the medical treatment facility have a pest management problem (rats, ants, flies, lice, and/or other
  animals and insects)?
  Does the hospital have its own oxygen generation capability? If not, how are medical gases supplied?
  Describe the physical plan of the medical treatment facility. Does it have flooring materials or dirt floors,
  adequate ventilation, operational damage, or any other situation which would impact patient care?
  Other. Any other issues, concerns, or situations which affect the specific medical treatment facility being
  evaluated?
  INTEGRATION
  D-30. The object of threat integration is to relate how essential elements of information identified in
  analysis of the medical aspects of IPB process will affect the health of the command, the employment of
  AHS resources, as well as enemy/friendly courses of action as they pertain to medical issues. Further,
  information that is gathered relating to resources and background information should be consolidated in a
  usable format for use as the need arises. Some useful formats for managing information and medical
  intelligence include overlays, spreadsheets, matrices, and databases.
  D-31. Threat integration can be broken down into three major categories. It is important to note that in
  each category the threat relates only to the health of the command or medical issues. Similarly, the type of
  threat can vary greatly with the type of mission or operation (offensive, defensive, and stability tasks). These
  categories are—
  * What friendly courses of action are best supported from an AHS standpoint? What friendly AHS
  courses of action best support the mission?
  * What probable enemy courses of action could affect friendly AHS units/resources/services?
  * What geographic-related threat issues impact AHS support? Geographic-related threats include
  climatic/weather-related threats and their impact on the need for and delivery of AHS and terrain-
  related issues that can best be depicted by creating a modified combined obstacle overlay.
  CONSOLIDATION
  D-32. Understanding and consolidating additional elements of medical information/intelligence into
  concise formats assists the planner in future planning efforts or other possible contingencies. Databases are
  particularly useful for managing general information.
