Abstract

Annotation. The article highlights the current state of the structural construction of level 2 rapid response units for the medical service of the NATO Alliance. The relevance of this analysis is due to the fact that Ukraine's active course in cooperation with NATO allies requires the creation of a different model for the construction of medical forces units to create compliance. The non-compliance of these units prevents the possible use of the Medical Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine within NATO allies. Today, there is an urgent need to analyze the modern construction of NATO Alliance medical units and further reform the medical units of the 20th level of medical care of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The purpose of this study was to analyze the medical support of NATO allies and a modular approach to the creation of medical units at the second level of medical care by forming separate functional components – medical modules. The analysis of medical rapid response units of level 2 medical care of NATO allies and their components is carried out. It was established that the use of a modular approach to the formation of medical rapid response units at the second level of medical care provides an opportunity to form the structure of the unit depending on the operational situation and the needs for medical care. It should also be noted that the "flexible" formation of the structure of the medical unit allows rational use of human resources and property in conditions of armed conflict.
