It is unknown why AMEDD stopped the practice that was universal to the rest of the Army. This has left the AMEDD in an awkward situation of not being able to clearly define, measure, track, communicate, and estimate the cost of the critical Ready Medical skills that are required on the modern battlefield.</div> <ul class="links inline list-inline"><li class="node-readmore"><a href="/jrnl/art/need-clear-language-ready-medical-force-requirements" rel="tag" title="The Need for Clear Language in Ready Medical Force Requirements" hreflang="en">Read more<span class="visually-hidden"> about The Need for Clear Language in Ready Medical Force Requirements</span></a></li><li class="comment-comments"><a href="/jrnl/art/need-clear-language-ready-medical-force-requirements#comments" title="Jump to the first comment." hreflang="en">1 comment</a></li><li class="comment-new-comments"><a href="/taxonomy/term/1164/feed" class="hidden" title="Jump to the first new comment." data-history-node-last-comment-timestamp="1658344842" data-history-node-field-name="comment"></a></li><li class="comment-forbidden"></li><li></li></ul> Sat, 26 Jan 2019 12:26:37 +0000 SWJED 113723 at http://archive.smallwarsjournal.com http://archive.smallwarsjournal.com/jrnl/art/an-argument-for-non-medic-combat-arms-soldiers-conducting-live-tissue-training-as-a-pre-dep <span>An Argument for Non-Medic Combat Arms Soldiers Conducting Live Tissue Training as a Pre-Deployment Requirement</span> <span><span>Peter J.
