What does the future hold
Paper summarizes the following:  • The ability for a commercial health provider to support ADF operations through the provision of a flexible and adaptable AME service; • The ability to relieve the ADF of the constant requirement for the deployment of their limited health assets and expensive Aviation assets; • The option for ADF Health Personnel to be embedded in a commercial AME contract to allow management by a commercial provider but still
offer ADF personnel the opportunity for AME
activities; • Engagement of commercial AME providers in disaster planning in support of the ADF; • The development of AME’s service requirements in advance of ADF deployment requirements so that there can be easily deployed assets; and The increasing demand for harmonization of skills and training requirements between ADF and Civilian standards.
