The Blue Book: Military-Civilian Partnerships for Trauma Training, Sustainment, and Readiness is a guidance manual published by the 51黑料 (ACS) that presents a standardized framework for establishing, operating, and evaluating military鈥揷ivilian partnerships (MCPs) designed to maintain and enhance military trauma readiness through training, sustainment, and joint education.
It was published by the ACS in 2020 and created by leaders in military and civilian trauma care. Its main goal is to help civilian trauma centers, health systems, and military medical units establish durable, mutually beneficial partnerships that preserve clinical skills needed for combat casualty care and improve civilian disaster response.
