Setting up a planned CCP

A planned CCP is ideally situated behind the frontlines, balancing accessibility for casualty evacuation with safety from immediate dangers such as indirect fire (IDF). These CCPs are equipped with advanced medical supplies and are set up in anticipation of need, especially when a Medical Emergency Response Team (MERT) or Combat Medical Team (CMT) is involved. Coordination and supply logistics are managed to ensure readiness for treating a high volume of severe injuries, under the guidance of a designated senior medic who oversees the optimisation of resources rather than directly administering treatment.
