Combat Health Logistics — FM 4-02.1

Combat health logistics (CHL), to include blood management, is one of the major Army Medical Department (AMEDD) functional areas. Under the Medical Force 2000 (MF2K) concept, CHL in a theater of operations (TO) is provided by the medical battalion, logistics (forward), the medical battalion, logistics (rear), the theater medical materiel management center, and the medical detachment (logistics support). These organizations were designed based upon the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) scenario and workloads. Current MF2K CHL doctrine is articulated in Field Manual (FM) 8-10-9.
