Field Manual FM 4-40 Quartermaster Operations Change 1 April 2014 describes Quartermaster operations at all levels to include supply and field service functions. By reading this FM, commanders, staffs, and Soldiers will have an understanding of Quartermaster mission, organizations, and functions and will be better prepared to exercise them in an operational environment. More importantly, this field manual serves as the bridge between this force and the next, discussing units and systems that are being fielded now and into the near future, including Global Combat Support System - Army(GCSS-Army). While Army transformation to modularity is complete, our evolution will continue as we adjust the Army to new design for the Army of 2020. To support our force, we must focus ourselves on this new environment and apply the same innovation and professionalism that make us successful.

This publication provides doctrine for the Army Health System (AHS) in support of the modular force. The AHS is the overarching concept of support for providing timely AHS support to the tactical commander. It discusses the current AHS force structure modernized under the Department of the Army (DA)-approved Medical Reengineering Initiative and the Modular Medical Force that is designed to support the brigade combat teams (BCTs) and echelons above brigade (EAB) units. As the Army's AHS doctrine statement, this publication identifies medical functions and procedures that are essential for operations covered in other Army Medical Department (AMEDD) proponent manuals. This publication depicts AHS operations from the point of injury, illness, or wounding through successive roles of care within the area of operations (AO) and evacuation to the continental United States (CONUS)-support base.
