Army Techniques Publication 4-02.2, "Medical Evacuation," provides doctrine and techniques for conducting medical evacuation and medical regulating operations. Medical evacuation encompasses both the evacuation of Soldiers from the point of injury (POI) or wounding to a medical treatment facility (MTF) staffed and equipped to provide essential care in theater and further evacuation from the theater to provide definitive, rehabilitative, and convalescent care in the continental United States (CONUS) and the movement of patients between MTFs or to staging facilities. Medical evacuation entails the provision of en route medical care; supports the joint health service support system; and links the continuum of care. In addition, it discusses the difference between medical evacuation and casualty evacuation (CASEVAC), as well as coordination requirements for and the use of nonmedical transportation assets to accomplish the CASEVAC mission. The Army Health System (AHS) is a complex system of interrelated and interdependent systems which provides a continuum of medical treatment from the POI or wounding through successive roles of medical care to definitive, rehabilitative, and convalescent care in the CONUS, as required. Medical evacuation is the system which provides the vital linkage between the roles of care necessary to sustain the patient during transport. This is accomplished by providing en route medical care and emergency medical intervention, if required, and to enhance the individual's prognosis and to reduce long-term disability.

The purpose of this Common Table of Allowances (CTA) is to provide an authorization document according to the provisions of AR 71-32 and AR 700-84. This CTA, together with CTA 8-100 and CTA 50-970, constitutes the only Department of the Army authorization document for individual and organizational clothing and equipment. Allowances of individual and organizational clothing and equipment identified within this document are authorized for procurement with appropriated funds. Discussions include, but are not limited to, the following. Each column in this CTA is applicable only to that Army component. Similarly, Basis of Issues (BOI), which contains AOC/SI or MOS/ASI designations, are applicable only to personnel with the same AOC/SI or MOS/ASI in their MTOE/TDA/JTA. Military Occupational Specialty Codes identified in this CTA are contained in Appendix D. Therefore, to the extent that clothing and equipment authorized by this table are to be acquired by units/activities by requisition on the Army supply system, such requests/requisitions should cite as exception data the applicable CTA column, the applicable MTOE/TDA/JTA, and as appropriate, the AOC/SI or MOS/ASI. Items of clothing and individual equipment, identified by Standard Line Item Numbers (SLINs), are the latest Army adopted items of Type Classified Standard materiel. Priorities of issue, issue of substitute items pending availability of later models, or in lieu thereof until exhausted, are established and authorized by current supply directives. New items of clothing and individual equipment adopted by the Army in lieu of items previously authorized for USAREUR civilian support personnel are not automatically authorized for issue to USAREUR civilian support personnel. Authorization to issue such items to USAREUR civilian support personnel rests with the Commander, USAREUR. The allowances of locally procured non-Army adopted items, identified by CTA nonstandard line item numbers (CTA NSLINs), are authorized for local procurement when Army adopted items are not available in the supply system. Locally procured items will not be computed as requirements and as part of a supply control study. Non-Army adopted items procured locally should, whenever possible, conform to American National Standards Institute recommendations and specifications. Supply data pertaining to distinctive uniform items reflected in this CTA are referenced in Appendix E. Allowances of individual safety and protective clothing and equipment authorized herein may be decreased or omitted at the discretion of the local commander when determined to be unnecessary for the administration of the Army Safety Program, except those items authorized herein to TOE units or individuals of TOE units which may be decreased or omitted only at the discretion of Army Commands or the Chief, National Guard Bureau.

ATP 3-35.1 (FM 3-35.1), "Army Pre-Positioned Operations," provides doctrine for the Army pre-positioned stocks (APS) program. It describes the missions, duties, and responsibilities of all organizations involved in moving APS to an operational area and handing it off to designated Army units. It also describes planning and executing pre-positioned operations as well as supporting the combatant commander in a theater. The changing world environment has led to significant changes in how the Army structures its forces. No single solution will succeed when confronting an adaptive adversary. The Army must retain a wide range of capabilities while significantly improving its agility and versatility. Building a joint and expeditionary Army will require versatile forces that can execute smaller, shorter duration operations without degrading its traditional role in a major combat operation. At the core of this philosophy is having the ability to rapidly project predominately continental United States (CONUS)-based forces to an area of operations (AO), requiring the involvement of numerous military Services, agencies, departments, and organizations. Its credibility depends on the capability to deploy, in a timely manner, an appropriate military force capable of accomplishing the mission.
