Original: Modernizing the Capstone: How Operation Bushmaster Prepares Medical Officers for Large-Scale Combat Operations
The Uniformed Services University has updated Operation Bushmaster, its capstone field training exercise for medical officers, shifting focus toward large-scale combat operations. The modernized program is designed to prepare military doctors and nurses to provide care in demanding battlefield conditions rather than the counterinsurgency scenarios of past decades. The university highlighted the overhaul as part of broader efforts to keep military medical education aligned with current Pentagon warfighting priorities.
Why now: The US military is reorienting training toward large-scale combat operations amid renewed focus on near-peer conflict.
