Objectives:
The aim of this study was to determine if a set of performance indicators for command and control (C2) primarily developed for civilian use could be applied also to a military training context as well.
Method:
The initial decision-making in the on-scene medical management in a multinational military medical evacuation exercise in Afghanistan was studied, using this set of indicators.
Results:
Two performance indicators were appropriate to this setting. Of the nine applicable indicators, the standards set for civilian use were met in four, in three other they were not met, and there was a lack of documentation in two indicators.
Conclusion:
Measurable performance indicators for prehospital command and control were to some extent found to be applicable also to a military environment. Future developments may make it possible for the concept of measuring results using civilian performance indicators to become a quality control tool in a military setting.
