New Equipping Strategies for Combat Support Hospitals

by Rick Eden, Aimee Bower, Ronald E. Harper, et al.

Combat Support Hospitals, when not deployed, keep a partial set of equipment at home station with the remainder in long-term storage, a strategy that has created maintenance and obsolescence challenges. This briefing describes a new strategy for configuring home station equipment sets and proposes that deploying CSHs eliminate much of the unit-owned equipment currently in long-term storage, actions that will sharply reduce total equipment costs.
