  Note. If medical personnel gain information of potential intelligence value through casual
  observation of activities in plain view while in the performance of their humanitarian duties, they
  are required to report it to their supporting intelligence staff officer/assistant chief of staff,
  intelligence.
  Population Demographics
  D-18. Population demographics include the effect on the delivery of health care to supported forces and the
  effect on the AHS if required to support the local populace and nongovernmental organizations. It also
  includes the political effects of providing care/not providing care to the host-nation populace,
  nongovernmental organizations, and dislocated persons and the effects of cultural, religious, or language
  barriers on medical treatment. Other AHS population demographic concerns include:
  * Condition of the general population (and or supported population) to include an analysis of the
  health of the general population and the impact of it on deployed forces; analysis of the infant
  mortality rate as this serves as an indicator of the overall health of the population; leading causes
  of death; identification of the status of nutrition; and state of advancement of the medical
  infrastructure.
  * What effect will clans, tribes, gangs, opposition groups, or paramilitary organizations/groups and
  organized crime have on the ability to provide AHS support to deployed forces and other eligible
  beneficiaries?
  * What effect/additional requirements will dislocated persons and detained personnel have on the
  AHS system? This is of particular importance for the operational public health arena as camps
  require sanitation, pest management, and potable water support. Other requirements include the
  provision of sick call services, outpatient treatment, hospitalization, MEDEVAC, veterinary
  technical consultation and support, MEDLOG support (to include sorting, repackaging,
  inventorying, and disseminating donated medical supplies and equipment), and other functional
  concerns.
  Threat Forces Capabilities/Effects
  D-19. The effects of enemy ideology, goals, and missions includes an analysis of the enemy's will to fight;
  what they are trying to accomplish and why (military objectives); compliance with the Geneva Conventions
  (to include respect and protection of medical personnel, units, and transports); type of enemy forces (such as
  paramilitary, conventional, special operations, and or terrorists); philosophy concerning collateral damage,
  civilian casualties, disruption of utilities (sewage, waste disposal, sanitation, water, electricity, and gas), and
  generating dislocated persons. Threat forces capabilities or effects encompass the following:
  * The threat characteristics include the affects enemy doctrine has on deployed forces, to include
  AHS personnel and units. This information facilitates forecasting what units/elements/
  organizations are most likely to sustain heavy casualties.
  * Enemy force structure and weapons systems include the analysis of the accuracy and range of
  enemy weapons systems; analysis of the size and composition of the enemy force; and what types
  of friendly wounds will be generated by enemy weapons systems (such as piercing, blast injuries,
  concussion, blunt trauma, burns, or combined injuries).
  * Enemy medical doctrine and capabilities include the analysis of enemy medical doctrine and
  capabilities; priority and availability of medical care and MEDEVAC; status of the medical
  infrastructure and training to accomplish the medical mission; and the potential for the enemy to
  treat their own casualties or to leave them in the care of friendly forces.
  * Effects of enemy CBRN weapons to include an analysis of enemy CBRN capabilities; effect of
  enemy CBRN use on friendly forces; the likelihood of its use; whether the enemy can continue
  the mission in a CBRN environment; and whether the enemy's delivery systems are accurate,
  reliable, and effective.
  * Military information support operations and unconventional warfare capabilities and effects
  include an analysis of the probable impact of psychological operations on friendly forces; analysis
