Planning considerations
Support is primarily directed towards CTF units. Extra capacity will be used to facilitate HA effort. Force protection against cholera is a priority. Limited surgical assets with no permanent Level 3 facility in theatre (note: USS Essex is available from C+18 – C+46)

Concept of operations (In all Phases)
Level 1 support to be provided at Sector level. Level 2 support (surgical teams) to be centralised at Launceston (NT) and Hobart (ST). Level 3/4 support identified in Samagaland and Australia. High reliance on helicopters for in theatre evacuation.

Requests Deployment of permanent in theatre Level 3 facility (field hospital). UN chartered air ambulance for strategic evacuation.
