MEDICAL PLANNING GUIDE FOR THE ESTIMATION OF NUCLEAR, BIOLOGICAL, AND CHEMICAL BATTLE CASUALTIES
Section I. INTRODUCTION
D-1. General
The primary purpose of the Medical Planning Guide for the Estimation of Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Battle Casualties—AMedP-8(A), a three-volume publication for NBC, is to assist medical planners, medical logisticians, and medical staff officers in predicting NBC warfare contingency requirements for HSS personnel, medical materiel stockpiles, patient transport or evacuation capabilities, and facilities needed for patient decontamination, triage, treatment, and supportive care. The optional use of these guides is for projecting medical NBC operational estimates at brigade, division, corps, and EAC.
