       TAB H Lessons Learned To 73d Med Det DS/DS AAR

       1. Title: Medical Field Chests
           Observation: Prior to deployment, medical supplies located
       in field chests were not well organized for long term mission.
           Discussion: Recent civic actions to Bolivia and Paraguay
       made use of only a few medical chests due to space/weiqht
       restrictions. These had not been reconfigured for a long term
       deployment, as only short term deployments were occuring.
           Lesson learned: Medical field chests need to be kept ready
       for both long and short term missions.
           Recommendation: obtain 2 more field chests and stock them
       for a short term mission. Keep the other medical field chests
       stocked for long term missions. Resupply each set as needed from
       a separate supply stock.

       2. Title: Use of JA Teams in Wartime
           Observation: JA Teams should be kept together as a unit
       during a deployments
           Discussion: manpower constraints resulted in the initial
       splitting up of the 73d Med Det for use at different sites.
       Because JA Teams are so small, each unit member has multiple,
       specific functions. The unit trains together in peace and needs
       to be together on deployments to-maintain unit integrity and
       chain of command. Splitting up the unit disrupts the unit.
           Lesson learned: Keep JA Teams together as a team when
       deployed.
           Recommendation: Use a JA Team to cover a field site and
       maintain unit integrity. This lesson was applied successfully
       when the 73d Med Det was assigned to AA Vidalia as a unit.
