Abstract

On October 24, 1983, clinical fillers rapidly integrated into the 82d Airborne Division, deployed to the Island of Grenada, and significantly contributed to the tactical medical support mission during Operation Urgent Fury. However, the medical community's unfamiliarity with the airborne division's operational requirements and the 307th Medical Battalion's capabilities have created questions which must be addressed to provide a clearer understanding of what occurred at the division level of medical support (DLMS) during the initial 4 days of the operation. This article outlines key aspects for DLMS to the U.S. Army airborne division and briefly reviews DLMS during Operation Urgent Fury.
