The proposal in this paper is ambitious. It perhaps would have been useful to have exposed more of the barriers to forming a Global Trauma System, noting that those barriers will all be linked to human behaviours. The challenges stem from different approaches to medical practice, different licensing regimes for pharmaceutical products, different standards for (digital) information exchange, different ways of ‘doing’ blood and blood products, national regulations on medical data and, possibly most importantly, a ‘peacetime’ mentality towards change that values perfection over speed (that tends to change once war breaks out). All these issues can be overcome, but they will require significant investment of time and resources by government health(care) ministries and related regulatory bodies. The military will struggle to achieve this on its own, but needs to be ready to be the change agent to test and experiment with possible solutions. NATO offers a good test bed and has already begun the journey towards interoperability.

Most military professionals don’t deny or question the impact the space domain will have in future conflicts, what many like myself don’t understand is HOW it will be fought or HOW we should fight and defend in that domain. The Battle Beyond by Jerry Drew and Paul Szymanski answer the questions of How. A thought provoking walk through of the theory, doctrine, and history that drives the efforts that will fight and win at the tactical, operational, and strategic level. A must read for all guardians, space practitioners, and senior military leaders. #MultiDomainOperations #LSCO
