APPENDIX 1 TO ANNEX Q TO CFC OPLAN (KOREA) 9518X-XX
JOINT MEDICAL REGULATING SYSTEM
REFERENCES:
a. JP 4-02.2, 30 Dec 1996, "Joint Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures for Patient Movement in
Joint Operations."
b. AR 40-350/BUMEDINST 6320.1E/AFR 168-11, 30 March 1990, "Patient Regulating to and
within the Continental United States."
1. Purpose. To provide the concept of operations, assign tasks, and provide guidance for medical
regulating activities within and from the theater.
2. Assumptions and Definitions
a. CFC will provide hospitalization for patients evacuated out of the JOA.
b. TRANSCOM will provide Joint Patient Movement Requirements Center (JPMRC) trained
personnel in Deployable Medical Regulating Teams (DMRT) as requested by the JTF JPMRC.
c. Communications will be established and maintained with the Theater Patient Movement
Requirements Center (TPMRC) and the Global Patient Movement Requirements Center (GPMRC) as
required.
3. Concept of Operations
a. JTF Korea will provide management and execution of medical regulating functions, not
otherwise assigned to Service components.
b. JTF Korea will regulate the movement of patients from and, as appropriate, within the JOA,
ensuring optimum use of evacuation assets.
c. Patients requiring evacuation out of the JOA will be reported to the JTF Korea JPRMC for
regulating by using TRANSCOM Regulating Command and Control Evacuation System (TRAC2ES). If
direct movement to CONUS is indicated, coordination will be through the GPMRC at Scott Air Force Base,
Illinois.
d. Patient data will be collected and entered into TRAC2ES at the earliest point of medical care
commensurate with the contingency intensity. If requested the JTF Korea JPMRC will provide the DMRT
personnel to assist Component Medical Regulating Officers to ensure that patient data is collected at the
earliest available time. This patient data collection will allow for Command Medical Intelligence gathering
and provide In-Transit Visibility (ITV).

e. DOD Health Care Facilities for CONUS reception of patients include Brooke AMC for the Kelly
AFB Hub. Other hospitals may be determined by the GPMRC.
f. NEO medical evacuees will be regulated by the same procedures as US military personnel,
unless the Department of State gives other guidance.
4. Tasks
a. JTF Korea. Provide reports of hospital capacities (to include operating beds and available
beds), medical capabilities by specialty, patient movement data, and other information as requested.
b. CFCMAF. Assist with the coordination of patient movement requests from the JTF Korea
JPMRC, TPMRC, and GPMRC.
c. PACFLT-NGCC. Assist with the coordination of patient movement requests from the JTF
Korea JPMRC, TPMRC, and GPMRC.
5. Coordinating Instructions
a. This Appendix is effective for planning upon receipt and for execution on order.
b. Coordination between Service Component medical surgeons/staffs and transportation
activities responsible for medical evacuation is authorized and encouraged. Component Surgeon staffs
should focus on the AE communication specifications described in Appendix 4, paragraph 6 and ensure
that forward elements can establish connectivity with the JTF Korea, JPMRC and support movement
control centers.
c. Service Components can assign liaison offices (LNO) to any Level III medical facility receiving
patients from JTF Korea.
6. Communications
a. Regulating requests and patient movement information, to include patient in-transit visibility,
will be accomplished using TRAC2ES.
b. In the absence of automated support, US Message Text Format will be utilized.
c. Direct communications are authorized and encouraged between Component medical
surgeons/staffs and the JTF Korea, JPMRC. Direct communications are authorized and encouraged
between JTF Korea, JPMRC with CFC TPMRC and GPMRC as necessary, to ensure effective
coordination of patient movement.
7. Medical Regulating Staffing Requirements. TBP.
8. Command and Control. The JTF Korea surgeon will exercise command and control over the JPMRC.
