Abstract

Since the February 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the prospect of an Article 5 North Atlantic Treaty Organisation collective defence operation in Europe has increased significantly. Were this type of operation to occur, it would present different challenges to the Defence Medical Services (DMS) than those of the era of the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan, where air superiority was assured, and combat casualty numbers did not approach the tens of thousands experienced by Russia and Ukraine in the first months following the invasion. This essay examines how the DMS could prepare for such an operation using four key themes: preparing for prolonged field care, training medical personnel for combat, recruiting and retaining medical personnel and planning for post-traumatic stress disorder.

国防医疗服务部门应如何为可能出现大量战斗伤亡的北约第 5 条集体防御行动做好准备?
自 2022 年 2 月俄罗斯入侵乌克兰以来,北大西洋公约组织根据第 5 条在欧洲开展集体防御行动的可能性大大增加。如果发生此类行动,国防医疗服务(DMS)将面临与阿富汗国际安全援助部队时期不同的挑战,当时阿富汗的空中优势得到了保证,战斗伤亡人数没有接近俄罗斯和乌克兰在入侵后头几个月所经历的数万人。这篇文章通过四个关键主题探讨了军医署如何为这样的行动做好准备:为长期战地救护做好准备、为战斗培训医务人员、招募和留住医务人员以及为创伤后应激障碍做好计划。
