Army Health System Doctrine Smart Book 2019

Army Health System Doctrine Smart Book 2021
"The AHS Doctrine Smart Book is designed to provide brief summaries of all of the current medical doctrine publications. It is a quick reference tool and as such, will not provide all of the doctrinal answers users may need. However, it will point the users in the direction of the correct doctrinal publications for a deeper look at employing medical capabilities and comprehensive discussions about the AHS. The majority of the Smart Book is based on current, approved, published doctrine. Some content is based on publications that are in the final stages of publication (i.e. final electronic file) and therefore, will contain slightly different material than doctrine that can be found on the Army Publishing Directorate website. As AMEDD doctrine publications are updated, the AHS Doctrine Smart Book will be updated."-Health Readiness Center of Excellence.

The 2024 Army Health System Doctrine Smart Book is available on the milsuite website. CAC-login required.
