Last month, Operation Vibrant Response provided consequence-management response forces (CCMRFs) the opportunity to practice using MC4 during a two-week disaster relief scenario held at Fort Leavenworth, Kan.
Active duty, U.S. Army Reserve (USAR) and National Guard personnel captured patient encounters and ordered class VIII supplies via the MC4 system. The supply orders were filled through the master ordering facility (MOF) hundreds of miles away—at Martin Army Community Hospital (MACH) at Fort Benning, Ga. MACH, one of six MOFs in the U.S., was designated for this exercise since it had not previously been tested to fulfill orders from the field.
The exercise held at Fort Leavenworth is a precursor for a larger domestic disaster relief training effort scheduled for November at Camp Atterbury, Ind.
