This first edition of the Bi-SC Medical Newsletter is intended to provide a forum for sharing and coordination of information and efforts balancing the involvement and participation of the NATO Command Structure, NATO– and Partner nations on medical support in NATO.Future volumes of this newsletter will continue to capture and solicit articles highlighting high-quality information of NATO medical support without inhibiting discussion on areas needing improvement. I trust you will find these articles informative and consider using them as desk references on these critical issues.
