What Every Airman Needs to Know About Medical Stability Operations
Feature What Every Airman Needs to Know about Medical Stability Operations Col Stephen Waller, MD, USAF, Retired Lt Col Jose Fonseca, USAF, Retired Col Joseph Anderson, USAF, MC Col James Fike, USAF, MC, Retired Col Sean Murphy, USAF, MC he multidimensional complexity of stability operations has cap- tured much attention in the Air Force. Key features of these op- erations include humanitarian relief, reconstruction of emer- Tgency infrastructure, provision of essential government services, and maintenance of a safe, secure environment. “Military health support” plays an everyday, vital role in each of these features.1 Because stability operations call upon a wide array of unique Air Force capabilities, the service’s future leaders will need an understanding of this aspect of agile combat support and building partnerships to effectively conduct not only these operations but also those involving airpower. January–February 2012 Air & Space Power Journal | 1 Feature Waller, Fonseca, Anderson, Fike, & Murphy Medical Stability Operations In the context of past military campaigns, medical stability operations (MSO) may seem more appropriate for the Red Cross or the US Agency for International Development (USAID), not the Air Force or Depart- ment of Defense (DOD). The new MSO paradigm has vast breadth and many dimensions of support for wider national security goals. This ar- ticle examines some historical successes involving MSOs and lessons learned. It then discusses the many dimensions of these operations, taken from DOD Instruction (DODI) 6000.16, Military Health Support for Stability Operations, which states that they shall “be explicitly addressed and integrated across all MHS [Military Health System] activities includ- ing doctrine, organization, training, education, exercises, materiel, lead- ership, personnel, facilities, and planning.”2 Using this framework, the authors hope to help future Air Force leaders better understand how the DOD implements this essential task, “a core U.S. -

We want to thank three of the Stimson Center’s Distinguished Fellows: Dr. Gordon Adams, who created the Budgeting for Foreign Affairs and Defense (BFAD) program at Stimson, was the impetus and strategic advisor for this report and all of the program’s work; Dr. Barry Blechman remains one of the nation’s premier nuclear weapons experts, and this report hopefully is a worthy successor to work he did decades ago; and Michael Krepon, also one of our nation’s great nuclear weapons experts, generously allowed his research assistant to support this effort. Matt Leatherman, of BFAD’s research staff, was critical to initiating this report and doing the initial work and framing. We also thank Stimson’s president, Ellen Laipson, for her continued leadership and mentorship, and Stimson’s executive vice president, Cheryl Ramp, who facilitated the administrative arrangements for this effort. We also thank the staff who turned this report into a final product, particularly Kerri West, April Umminger, Crystal Chiu, and Rebecca Rand. This report owes a great deal to a number of reviewers, especially Amy Woolf, Jim Beale, and Mark Ely, as well as a number of others who must remain anonymous. -
