       (6) (U) Ordered spare parts for all equipment, parts that were
    likely to fail.
    
       (7) (U) Ensured that we were trained and had the proper hardware
    and software to program our radios and base station.
    
       (8) (U) Ordered enough radios to cover all sections and have
    spares.
    
       (9) (U) Brought all power cables and boxes for the tents, more than
    the spares that were brought.
    
       (10)(U) Made sure that the hematology instrument works when
    reported as working. This instrument has been non functional for 2
    years and been requested to be fixed. It returned from being "fixed"
    2 days before deployment.
    
    (11) (U) Prepositioned 1 set of instruments to service all TAC
    Hospitals. Command could send out loaners from this equipment while
    a piece of equipment from any ATH was sent back for repair. This
    would eliminate some of the equipment down time.
    
    (12) (U) Brought more training aids, EMT course materials, and CPR
    Mannikins.
    
    (13) (U) Screened medical records on everyone coming to theater.
    There are several people who 've been seen in ER who never should have
    been sent here.
    
    (14) (U) Billeted officers and enlisted separately from the
    beginning.
    
    (15) (U) Hand carried a lot more drugs on the aircraft rather than
    trust SGL to pack the items. We would have brought more on plane, if
    we had known there wouldn't be a need to clear customs.
    
    (16) (U) Add Pharmacist to CENTAF. Our ability to treat patients
    is heavily dependent on having a proper selection of pharmaceuticals.
    CENTAF/SG should consider appointment of a pharmacist to assist in
    the coordination of drug requirement for all deployed ATH's. An
    experienced pharmacist would be a valuable link between assignment
    providers and logistics personnel to insure maximum therapeutic
    capabilities and standardization of the ATH formularies.
    
    (17) (U) Packed needed supplies for the OR (not on TA): sharps
    containers, bovie cords, sharps counters, suction liners ligaclips
    and appliers, skin staples, staple removers, disposable suction
    tubing, internal stapling instruments, various surgical instruments,
    ATTEST cidex pans, ATTEST incubator, bovie pencils with adequate
    adaptors, disposable razors, litter stantions, hibiclens sponge
    brushes and AC filters.
    
    (18) (U) Increased supplies since inadequate supplies were found
    such as: peel packs, sterilizer tape, non-metallic tubing, dust
    covers.
