NDMS has really NEVER been tested for the kind of contingency for which it  
was set up.      DMATs are not structured to respond to  the kind of thing 
that I was referring to in Korea.    The kind  of example which I was 
questioning was that which is seen in the  IRAQ/AFGHANISTAN   -  Landsthul  - 
WRNMC -  JTTS   Axis  ????

Originally NDMS was set-up to handle over flow for military  causalities, 
regardless of theater of operations, in times of war. Your  contingency plan 
is supposed to be updated yearly, and your DMAT for your area  will be 
instrumental in activating and coordinating care and disbursement of  patients 
from local airports to civilian hospitals in case the need arises.

I  was just wondering. Just IF there are significant US Soldiers wounded  
(even by accident) in Korea, would they be brought to Landsthul Army  
Hospital in Germany (HIGHLY VISABLE AND SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM VIA JTTS), or  
to 
Tripler Army Hospital in Hawaii? Is there a network infrastructure in  
place in the Pacific, like there is in Europe and the Middle East? I am  
certain that this has been discussed at the highest levels and put into  
place, as this JTTS, CCAT, Trauma, QA, Trauma Registry, TBI, etc. program  
has 
been one of the most successful in the history of military medicine. I  
would have thought that USUHS or JTTS, or ISR, or ASD HA have long ago  
discussed such contingency plans. We in the civilian sector could also  
learn, 
both for routine trauma and for disaster medical preparedness.
