The 10th CSH (FWD) deployed to Bosnia and Hungary in support of Operation Joint Forge from 12 March to 27 Sept.
The major components of a combat support hospital were the expandable tactical shelters, TEMPER Tents, and the military vans.
The MILVAN was a rigid paneled metal storage and transportation container, which was allocated to the functional sections of the hospital.
The combat support hospital was designed to provide level III care to deployed soldiers during wartime operations or humanitarian missions.
The hospital facility was the Deployable Medical System (DEPMEDS), which consisted of TEMPER tents and ISO shelters.
While conducting split-based operations in Tallil and Baghdad, Medical Task Force 10 provided unmatched Level III combat health support with a 94-percent survivability rate.
The 10th CSH deployed as Medical Task Force 10 to Operation Iraqi Freedom 08–10, and once again provided unmatched Level III combat health support with split-based operations in Baghdad at Ibn Sina Hospital then moving to Camp Sather, Tallil, Al Kut, Al Amarah, Bucca, and even supporting UK Forces in Basrah.
Under the FY07 MTOE, which appeared on 16 March 2007, the 10th Combat Support Hospital had 482 required positions, which consisted of 237 permanently assigned and 245 PROFIS.
In an ideal world, the 10th Field Hospital would have had all personnel assigned and training on a daily basis in anticipation for worldwide deployments.
Therefore, a system was required whereby the majority of time could be spent in a real clinical environment, where skills could be developed and maintained.
