FM 8-10-8, Medical Intelligence in a Theater of Operations, July 1989

Abstract

This manual explains the importance of medical intelligence in planning and execution of military operations. It describes the responsibilities of medical and intelligence staffs and personnel at each echelon especially within a US military command in the field. It explains the role and functions of the Armed Forces Medical Intelligence Center which provides “medical scientific and technical intelligence and general medical intelligence” for the US Armed Forces. The manual explains procedures used to report intelligence information and to request intelligence reports as well as the forms used for those purposes. The references anticipated the publication of an overdue updated to the Army’s technical intelligence field manual which was published in April 1990.
