Special Session - A Bias for Action: Preparing the US Health Care System for Large Scale Combat Operations (LSCO) The next battlegrounds for the US are likely to involve conflicts versus a peer or near peer adversary. The United States military is preparing for the potential of LSCO, which would generate large numbers of casualties during the initial phase, with projections estimating 2,000-3,000 casualties repatriating to the US per day for the first 100 days of war. Casualties of this magnitude will require engagement of all civilian trauma centers along with a high level of coordination of patient movement and distribution. This panel will discuss the expected wounding patterns and types of injuries that will require care, the National Disaster Medical System pilot currently underway to model combat casualty movement back to the US, and lessons learned from a trauma center in the Ukraine, along with the urgency in development of the COT National Trauma and Emergency Preparedness System plan using Regional Medical Operations Coordinating Centers as its unit of action. There will be ample time at the end of the presentations for audience participation in a Q&A session. |

Panel Session: Improving Trauma Systems During Challenging Times Building high-functioning trauma systems is a universal challenge, compounded by modern complexities such as global pandemics, protracted conflicts, and constrained healthcare funding. These obstacles underscore, rather than diminish, the critical need for robust trauma systems.
