Medical support is a significant capability to activate in conventional military operations, but even more in current and future operations. The provision of sufficient medical support to military operations is critical and deficiencies in deployable medical capabilities have been a force limiter for multinational military joint operations. In addition to lack of common procurements projects, availability of medical personnel is also a common concern that severely affects the feasibility of deploying, and sustaining Medical Treatment Facilities (MTF), ROLE 2/3 capable for prolonged periods. These are the reasons why International Organizations (UE & NATO) are currently working on projects of Pooling and Sharing in order to standardizing national medical capabilities and to achieve a high level of multinational interoperability so that different functional medical means (structures, equipments, personnel, procedures...) can be integrated within the framework structure of a Multinational Medical Treatment Facility (MMTF).
