Commanders and their staffs must be aware of HSS capabilities and requirements and their contributions to mission accomplishment. Marine Corps Warfighting Publication (MCWP) 4-11.1, Health Service Support Operations, disseminates information on the mission, functions, structure, and concept of employment of HSS units. This publication provides overarching doctrine and establishes a practical approach to HSS from the perspective of the commander or staff officer who can apply it without any significant medical background.

Lower-level tactics, techniques, and procedures for specific application will be published in Marine Corps Reference Publication 4-11.1E, Health Service Support Field Reference Guide. This MCWP pertains equally to senior commanders and small-unit leaders. This publication supersedes MCWP 4-11.1, Health Service Support Operations, dated 10 March 1998.
