Systemic Challenges in the Pre-Hospital Medical Reporting Framework: A NATO-Aligned Concept Development and Experimentation Study

Summary/Abstract: Pre-hospital medical reporting is critical for MEDEVAC activation and Medical C2. However, NATO exercises frequently reveal data inconsistencies and information loss. This study evaluates information flow within a Czech Army mechanized battalion and verifies a new Pre-Hospital Care (PHC) concept designed to address these friction points.A Table-Top Exercise (TTX) involving forty participants was conducted to test the concept. Results revealed significant deviations from NATO standards (9-liner, MIST), with critical information loss occurring between company and battalion levels. Conversely, the PHC concept demonstrated improved structure, clarity, and time discipline. The study concludes that the PHC concept effectively addresses systemic shortcomings, offering a user-friendly tool to enhance Medical C2. It recommends further validation in field exercises (LIVEX) and gradual integration into national training and doctrine.
