Yet the MHS\u2019s capability to expand its current case management services in response to medical surge, as would be expected during a large-scale combat operation (LSCO), remains underexplored.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study uses a scoping literature review to identify existing and required MHS case management capabilities necessary for such a surge event. Data were analyzed using the DOTmLPF-P framework (Doctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leadership &amp; Education, Personnel, Facilities, Policy) to assess current strengths and identify gaps for surge conditions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The literature review (n\u2009=\u200964 reports) revealed limited documentation of case management during a medical surge, with most focusing on steady state operations. Key findings indicated a lack of clear, standardized, and surge-specific doctrine and policy. Findings also highlighted fragmented organization, inadequate training for high-volume scenarios, and limitations in materiel, IT interoperability, personnel capacity, and facility adaptability for surge.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Findings suggest the MHS currently lacks cohesive policy, doctrine, and standardization required to effectively manage a combat casualty surge during an LSCO.
