Purpose and Scope

The purpose of Allied Joint Medical Publication (AJMedP)-9 Multinational Medical Support is to provide guidance to those involved in health service support planning for defence planning, operations and exercises. The successful planning, execution and support of military operations require a clearly understood and widely accepted doctrine, and this is especially important when operations are to be conducted by Allied, multinational or coalition forces.

AJMedP-9 is closely linked to AJP-4.10 and AJMedP-1. AJMedP-9 describes multinational solutions focusing on the tactical level, whereas AJMedP-1 explains planning procedures within NATO headquarters.
