MEDICAL BATTALION (MULTIFUNCTIONAL)
Force structure changes occurring within the Modular Army necessitated a redesign
of the functional medical battalions
(area support, medical evacuation, and
MEDLOG) into a multifunctional organization which can provide the requisite
planning, synchronization, and coordination for modular medical companies,
detachments, and teams/elements. Modularity has resulted in a smaller deployed
medical footprint through enhancing the capability to rapid task organization of
scalable medical capabilities. As the medical functions, although distinct, are
interrelated and interdependent to enable a seamless health care continuum from the
point of injury to the CONUS-support base which facilitates centralized planning for
the execution of operations.
SECTION I — HEADQUARTERS AND HEADQUARTERS COMPANY, MEDICAL
BATTALION (MULTIFUNCTIONAL)
MISSION AND ASSIGNMENT
4-1. The mission of the MMB (TOE 08485G00) is to provide scalable, flexible, and modular medical C2,
administrative assistance, logistical support, and technical supervision capability for assigned and attached
medical functional organizations
(companies, detachments, and teams) task-organized for support of
deployed BCTs and EAB forces. The MMB headquarters is depicted in Figure 4-1.

Figure 4-1. The multifunctional medical battalion
4-2. The MMB is the battalion-level medical headquarters in theater.
4-3. The MMB consists of an early entry element (EEE) and a campaign support element (CSE).
CAPABILITIES AND LIMITATIONS
4-4. The MMB is a multifunctional medical C2 organization that replaces the functionally aligned
medical battalion, area support; medical battalion, logistics; and medical battalion, evacuation. This
multifunctional headquarters is composed of two standard requirement codes identified modules (the EEE
and the CSE) to facilitate the deployment and integration of the unit on the Time Phased Force Deployment
List. This headquarters conducts operational planning for assigned and attached medical functional
companies, detachments, and teams. The MMB headquarters should be deployed as far forward as the
division AO. Even in this circumstance the MMB would remain under the direct C2 of the MEDBDE and
not directly attached to the BCT. Detachments/teams assigned or attached to the MMB may be further
attached to the medical company (brigade support battalion) to augment or reconstitute BCT medical
elements. The array of health care units assigned and attached will vary depending upon METT-TC. When
fully manned, it provides—
z
Medical C2, staff planning, supervision of operations, medical and general logistics support as
required, and administration of the activities of subordinates to accomplishing the AHS mission.
z
Task organization of EAB health care assets to meet the projected patient workload.
z
Advice to senior commanders in the AO on the health care aspects of their operations.

MEDICAL BATTALION (MULTIFUNCTIONAL)
z
Coordination of medical regulating and patient movement with the MEDBDE intratheater
patient movement center or the MEDCOM (DS) TPMC, as required.
z
Monitoring, planning, and coordinating of medical ground and air medical evacuation within the
MMB AO. Coordinating requests with the supporting aviation unit air medical evacuation
support requirements and synchronization of the medical air evacuation plan into the overall
medical evacuation plan.
z
Guidance for facility site selection and area preparation.
z
Consultation and technical advice on PVNTMED (medical entomology, medical and OEH
surveillance, and sanitary engineering), pharmacy procedures, COSC and BH, medical records
administration, veterinary services, nursing practices and procedures, and medical laboratory
procedures to supported units. Monitors and provides advice and consultation on dental support
activities within the MMB AO.
z
Monitoring and supervision of MEDLOG operations, to include Class VIII supply/resupply,
medical equipment maintenance and repair support, optical fabrication and repair support, and
blood management.
z
Planning and coordination of Role 1 and Role 2 medical treatment, to include staff advice on an
area support basis for EAB units without organic health care assets.
z
Unit-level maintenance for wheeled vehicles and power generation equipment, and wheeled
vehicle recovery operations support to assigned or attached units.
z
Organizational communications equipment maintenance support for the battalion.
z
Food service support for staff and other medical elements dependent upon the battalion for food
service.
z
Maintenance of a consolidated property book for assigned units.
z
Religious support for the battalion staff, unit personnel of assigned/attached medical elements,
and casualties in subordinate MTFs in the MMB AO.
ORGANIZATION AND FUNCTIONS
4-5. This TOE will be assigned to the MEDBDE or the MEDCOM (DS). The MMB is allocated as one
MMB per combination of three to seven medical companies or ten to fifteen medical detachments or teams.
This basis of allocation is computed on the aggregate of total companies, detachments, and teams assigned
or attached. This unit is designed a Category II unit. (For unit categories, see AR 71-32.)
INTERNAL STAFF AND OPERATIONS
4-6. The MMBs coordinating staff (S-staff) and special staff sections manage the command’s internal
operations through coordination with staffs of higher, lower, and adjacent units. The staff’s efforts support
the commander and subordinate units. The staff supports the commander by providing accurate and timely
information. It produces estimates, recommendations, plans and orders, and monitors execution. The staff
streamlines cumbersome or time-consuming procedures by ensuring that all activities contribute to mission
accomplishment. Within the MMB headquarters, staff sections coordinate their staff actions with other
headquarters staff sections as required.
EXTERNAL COORDINATION
4-7. The MMB must coordinate internally with the MEDBDE/MEDCOM (DS) and in early entry
operations when a senior medical command headquarters is not present, with the sustainment brigade staff,
corps staff, corps major subordinate commands, and other supported units to accomplish the medical
mission. This coordination is conducted mainly through command surgeon channels for synchronization
of the medical plan. External coordination with the combat aviation brigade for medical evacuation is
critical.
