text: Organic and Task-Organized Structure
  SURGEON
  2-21. The MEB surgeon is the principal advisor to the commander on the health of the brigade and advises
  the commander and staff on medical capabilities and all AHS support requirements necessary to support
  plans. The MEB surgeon and staff interface with all elements of the brigade staff to coordinate AHS SPO
  across the warfighting functions, to include the S-3 for SPO and issues related to force health protection
  (FHP); S-1 for casualty operations (casualty estimates, tracking, and personnel replacements); S-2 for
  medical intelligence support and information related to the health threat; S-4 for sustainment (health service
  support [HSS]-related issues) and logistics support; SJA; and others. The MEB surgeon and staff coordinate
  with the supporting medical brigade (support) for EAB medical support and ensure that HSS and FHP
  requirements are integrated into the commander’s ground tactical plan. The MEB surgeon is also responsible
  for providing technical supervision of all organic medical support personnel and activities within the brigade.
  2-22. The MEB also has a medical section that provides Role 1 medical care and behavioral health to the
  Soldiers of the MEB and support to assigned units as required. It provides immediate troop medical care for
  MEB Soldiers, operates a troop medical facility, trains subordinates in the provision of troop medical
  services, and determines patient evacuation requirements for medical conditions. It advises the MEB
  commander on medical treatment conditions that affect the health and welfare of assigned/attached forces
  and detainees/refugees. It contains one (4-member) evacuation squad to evacuate patients. See FM 4-02 for
  additional information on AHS support.
  UNIT MINISTRY TEAM
  2-23. The unit ministry team (UMT) consists of a chaplain and a religious affairs specialist. The chaplain
  serves as a personnel staff officer with direct access to the commander. The MEB UMT provides religious
  support to all assigned or attached service members, family members, and authorized civilians. It provides
  religious, moral, and ethical advisement to the command as it impacts both individuals and the organization’s
  mission. It coordinates with higher, subordinate, and adjacent UMTs and chaplain sections for area and
  denominational coverage requirements. See ATP 1-05.01 and FM 1-05.
  BRIGADE SIGNAL COMPANY
  2-24. The brigade signal company establishes organic communications (see figure 2-3, page 2-8) for the
  MEB and provides the following communication capabilities:
  * Combat net radio retransmission of voice using a—
   Single-channel ground and airborne radio system.
   Improved high-frequency radio.
   Single-channel tactical satellite for command and control.
  * A multichannel tactical satellite to extend the MEB communications services range.
  * MEB command and control network management.
  * The establishment of primary command post voice and video MEB capabilities.
  Note. The brigade signal company works in tandem with the S-6 on matters that concern MEB
  signal operations, automation, management, and information security.
