With the shift to near-peer competition as a result of disruption in the international order, militaries worldwide must face the challenge of delivering medical services in a more dangerous and strained environment. Essentially, asking the question, “How can we deliver an integrated health response to sustained casualties at scale?” Delving into this topic, we had the privilege of interviewing our conference chairman for DMHD 2025, Surgeon Commodore Jason Smith.

Recent conflicts have shown that near-peer warfare poses several challenges in terms of battlefield medical operations. Previous asymmetrical conflicts against a still dangerous, albeit less capable, foe permitted a relatively high level of survivability and recovery. On the other hand, recent conflicts have demonstrated that battlefield medical operations become increasingly difficult against a more capable foe due to unintentional and sometimes intentional threats. In this article, Tim Ripley explores the re-orientation.

In this interview with Captain Leslie Riggs, we get an exclusive look into the inner workings and state-of-play of the Armed Services Blood Program. This piece touches on the challenges faced by the organisation, but also its requirements and priorities in adapting to a near-peer conflict possible world. Valuable insight for anyone related to transporting blood down range.

In preparation for last year's Deployed Medical & Healthcare Delivery Conference, we interviewed the conference chairman and Head of research and clinical innovation for the UK Defence Medical Services, Duncan Wilson. Here he expresses the importance of the DMHD conference, and how being there aligns with the organisation’s wider objectives. Furthermore, he delves into what preparing for a near-peer conflict may hold for medical services. This is a perfect “warm-up” for what to expect for the conference this year. 

Here at Defence IQ, we had the privilege of interviewing Major General Dr Ambrose Musinguzi, Chief of Medical Services for the Uganda Peoples’ Defence Force. This small but impactful piece gives an excellent state-of-play of the UPDF Medical Services, the challenges they face, and how they operate.
