 (2) Discussion: It became apparent that the
 tactical evacuation and strategic evacuation activities of -
 co-located MASF's and ASF's were best managed by placing them
 under the operational control of the AECE. Placing these
 functions under the same command would enhance
 communications, allow for more efficient use of personnel and
 ground transportation assets, and consolidate support
 requirements/supply lines.

 (3) Recommendation: Place all theater tactical and
 strategic aeromedical evacuation assets under the command and
 control of MAC.

 10. COMMANDER SUMMARY: Although there were initial concerns
about equipment, supply, and personnel proficiency
 (specifically decon); a high state of readiness was achieved
 through the combined efforts and resourcefulness of the ATH'
 Wing, and CENTAF staffs. In almost all cases, equipment and
 supplies were procured or work-arounds and substitutes were
 implemented. While these concerns should be addressed and
 permanent fixes sought, the ATH was capable of performing its
 wartime second echelon mission. Due to limited
 post-operative capabilities and a wartime oriented TA, we
 were less prepared to for an extended peacetime role or
 expanded roles such third echelon missions. In the end,
 however, the ATH proved to be a very functional mobility
 asset and well suited for its assigned mission.
