with their own equipment TA which could be deployed to support ATC operations when requested.

13. Reevaluate all reporting requirements in light of who needs to know what, when:
A uniform theater disease reporting system should be established
with defined and clinically useful categories
Daily MEDRED-C reports should be deleted and a useful method of
reporting current status to forward and rear headquarters elements
should be established
A simplified comprehensive guide to all reporting requirements
should be published for SME's

14. Require all 901XO's in mobility positions to maintain EMT certification.

15. Require all flight surgeons in mobility positions to maintain ATLS
certification or comparable trauma management skills and provide
funding courses to meet the requirement.

16. Assure maximum SME participation in exercise deployments.

17. Revise TACR 400-10 and AFR 128-4 as needed:
To incorporate the ATH and ATC concepts of operations
To change the format of SME after-action reports to reflect greater
emphasis on the aeromedical mission
To change the requirement to take medical records on deployments of
greater than 30 days to a requirement to take only completed copy of SF
1480 for non-flyers and SF 1480, the most current SF 88 and AF 1042 for
` flyers
To require medical screening prior to deployment to minimize the
number of complicated medical problems which must be evaluated and
treated in theater
To change the requirement for automatic deployment to bare bases of
the environmental monitoring team to an as-requested status
To assure that each ATC is issued its own account code for ordering
supplies and retains the potential for independent function even after
the ATH arrival in the event redeployment is necessary.
18. Revise the TAC-MERIT CONPLAN:

To include more active role for SME's including ATC set up
To evaluate SME's, EHO's, and BEE's on relevant environmental
monitoring and foodborne outbreak investigation
To delete those medical intelligence checklist items which are
paperwork reviews in favor of evaluation of a briefing given in
conjunction with the exercise
To incorporate use of CANA autoinjectors into self aid/buddy care
procedures.

19. Establish mechanism whereby medical supplies may be ordered from
the host wing and shipped forward with non-medical supplies.
