Washington Metropolitan Council of GovernmentsMedical Care Support Unit (MCSU) Field Operations Guide (FOG)
Medical Care Support Unit (MCSU) Mission
The MCSU’s are designed to assist in treating large number of patients as a result of a Multiple Causality Incident (MCI). Each MCSU is designed to treat approximately 100 injured persons. Crew configuration will be dependent on incident profile and resources available . These MCSU vehicles are strategically located around the metropolitan area for rapid deployment to incidents that may require this resource . They may also be dispatched to augment resources already deployed to an incident.

Assists Primary Driver Enroute to Incident
A monthly supply and equipment inventory is required to maintain the MCSU readiness
Daily vehicle maintenance on the MCSU should be performed using the same procedure as the first line fire apparatus
Upon dispatch, determine direction of travel to scene and proceed to respond with other vehicles in “escort” fashion
Operations at the disaster scene vs. an MCI is challenging. The crew of the MCSU may be met by EMS crews attempting to totally strip the vehicle of supplies
Coordination and staging of the vehicle may be the best method to maintain order
