Purpose.

This publication provides the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) for the Expeditionary Medical Logistics (EML) system. The EML system provides global support and sustainment to Air Expeditionary Force (AEF) medical forces. Medical logistics and biomedical equipment technician (BMET) personnel deploy to support the full spectrum of military operations and must have the appropriate knowledge and training to sustain the medical forces they support. Planners and medical personnel should also understand logistics and distribution processes to meet the deployment and sustainment challenges of the AEF. This AFTTP provides a source document for developing standardized policies, operating procedures, and training programs. Operation plans (OPLANs) and regional guidance provide more specific information that amplify and tailor the guidance contained in this publication.
