Detainee Healthcare in Theater Hospitals: Are Air Force Medics Prepared for the Challenge? (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781288344529)

This paper will explore the various essential considerations that medical personnel should have prior to, and upon arrival in the AOR [area of responsibility]. A review of current joint training platforms and the potential for new Air Force training methodologies will be discussed. Given the nature of war and its hostile environment, a medic with a full toolkit of cultural, ethical, and force protection training will be able to effectively care for detainees. Additional competency training in detainee operations, improved AF training platforms, and increased access to joint service training opportunities are methodologies that will bolster competency and provide AF medical personnel with invaluable expeditionary skills.
