MEDICAL FLEET RESPONSE PLAN (MFRP)

BACKGROUND Navy Medicine must be prepared to surge a

ready and credible medical capability from all BSO-18 activities.

This CONOPS is designed to give commanders the flexibility to employ Navy medical assets in well-reasoned, innovative ways to enhance readiness and meet warfighting requirements with a credible medical force.

POLICY Concurrent with the Fleet Response Plan

(FRP) in order to surge Navy warfighting capacity for the National Defense.

Designed to develop and sustain readiness in Navy and Marine Corps HSAP platforms.

READINESS CATEGORIES ROUTINE DEPLOYABLE - Forward deployed

crisis response forces that are mission capable and ready to deploy within 5 days.

SURGE READY – Forces designated for the force build-up stage that are ready and capable of mobilizing and deploying within 30 days.

EMERGENCY SURGE – Additional forces designated for further follow-on stages that are ready and capable of deploying within 120 days.

READINESS REPORTING Surge capacity of operational forces represents the timeframe in

which they are required to deploy. A second factor is the process by which a unit’s operational

readiness is measured relative to similar units. Deployable units must report their readiness to meet their assigned

mission in a consistent and measurable manner. The Status of Resources and Training System (SORTS) establishes

joint readiness reporting requirements for reporting readiness of personnel, training, and equipment.

Based on metrics established to measure these three elements, SORTS provides five measures of unit readiness indicating the units self-reported ability to execute its mission.
