Who is responsible for a units medical plan?

In the context of a unit's medical plan, the responsibility primarily lies with the independent duty health services personnel. These individuals are specially trained to provide medical care and manage healthcare services within operational environments, ensuring that all personnel receive the necessary medical support. They are equipped to assess medical needs, implement a plan tailored to the unit's operational requirements, and coordinate with other medical providers as needed.

While the unit commander, surgeon general, or company commander play significant roles in overall health administration and policy-making, it is the independent duty health services personnel who execute and maintain the unit's medical plan on a day-to-day basis, ensuring readiness and compliance with medical standards. Their direct involvement allows for immediate attention to health issues and effective management of medical resources within the unit.
