  • Michael Melton The reference to Capability 8 and the associated document is very positive; however, there should also be a companion reference to Capability 9 - Medical Material Management and Distribution. Without successful execution of capability 9 following a disaster involving a major medical response, the various dispensing sites (M PODs and Hospitals) will not have access to the MCM to support their operational activities of Capability 8.
