PROBLEM STATEMENT
1. The necessity of the dissertation
People's Public Security is an armed force that serves as an
advisory unit for the Party and the Government on defending National
security and protecting social order and safety, fighting and preventing
operation conspiracies of hostile forces, criminals and law violations
regarding National security and social order and safety.
In order to meet the demands as well as missions in the new
situation, the Public Security Minister has decided to establish the High
Command of Mobile Police Force (K20) with the mission to cooperate
with armed forces to suppress and prevent acts of sabotage, riot
instigation, terrorism, hijacking, hostage abduction, and pursue armed
gangs and organized crimes.
During the mission enforcement, the number of public security
officers and men suffering from injuries and deaths has a tendency to
increase for many reasons, one of which is that the task of guaranteeing
health for public security officers and men in general and for mobile
police force and special task force in particular still has many
improprieties and has yet to meet the requirements of the missions,
especially the task of guaranteeing combat health nowadays.
Stemming from demands in the reality of working and fighting of
K20, the proposed demand for the research and establishment of
medicine list, medical equipment, combat medicine basic load and
2
methods of guaranteeing medical materials for K20 in this period is an
urgent and imperative demand.
2. Objectives of the dissertation:
1. To describe the real situation of the disease model and the task
of guaranteeing medical materials for K20 (2006-2010).
2. To build a medical equipment and medicine list for K20,

combat medicine basic loads and methods of packaging the basic
loads for the Special Task Force.
3. To initially suggest and assess methods of guaranteeing
medical materials for K20.
3. Contents of the dissertation
In order to accomplish the set objectives, the dissertation consists of
the following contents:
+ Surveying the reality of the disease model and the task of
guaranteeing medical materials of K20, namely:
- Analyzing the reality of medical examination and treatment, the
ratio of wounded soldiers, sick soldiers, the wound structure of K20 in
forms of combat, proposing the disease model for K20.
- Surveying the facilities, medicines, medical equipment, combat
basic loads, medical materials of K20 to serve as a foundation of the
proposal for the establishment of methods of guaranteeing medical
materials for K20.
+ Building adequate and fundamental contents for the list of
medicines and medical equipment for K20.
+ Building simultaneously the combat medicine basic loads for
the Special Task Force (basic loads for Battalions, Companies and
3
Individuals). Researching methods of packaging the combat medicine
basic loads with materials that are suitable, safe and convenient for
modes of transportation.
+ Suggesting, surveying and assessing methods of guaranteeing
medical materials for K20.
4. New contributions of the dissertation
On the basis of surveying the reality of the task of
guaranteeing medicines, medical equipment, basic loads and medical
examination and treatment (2006-2010), the dissertation is the first to

propose the disease model of K20 showing that the group of diseases
caused by injuries accounts for a large percentage: 19.15%, the
proportion of wounded soldiers in forms of fighting (fighting riots
and protests: 4.83%, attacking criminals: 1.83%), in marching and
training: 1.43%, the proportion of wounded soldiers in term of injury
level (severe level 7.5%, medium level 12.5%, minor level 80%),
which serves as a scientific foundation for the research and
establishment of the list of medicines and medical equipment and
combat medicine basic loads for K20.
For the first time, the research builds a medicine list for K20
with 209 medicines arranged according to names of active elements of
22 groups of pharmacological effects, an adequate list of medical
equipment including 7 groups of 376 pieces of equipment, and a list of
25 fundamental pieces of medical equipment for K20 that meet the
mission requirements of K20.
4
The research builds simultaneously combat medicine basic
loads: Battalion, Company and Individual Basic Loads (KB, KC, KN
Basic Loads) for the Special Task Force based on analyzing
scientifically obtained and surveyed data as well as real practice of
K20. Research results have been exploited for use in K20 and have
been initially highly considered by the unit as a study of high
scientific value and practical significance.
The research focuses on methods of guaranteeing medical
equipment for K20 based on principles of sufficient, comprehensive
and imperative supply, and at the same time creates flexibility and
initiative for the unit. Guarantee methods have been implemented and
applied in K20 and have been confirmed to have many advantages that
are suitable for the market economy.

DISCUSSION
4.1. SURVEY ON THE REALITY OF THE DISEASE MODEL
AND THE TASK OF GUARANTEEING MEDICAL
MATERIALS FOR K20 (2006-2010)
+ Disease model, the proportion of wounded soldiers in
action
- Regarding disease model: According to research results at
K20 infirmary, it is shown that the group of diseases caused by
injuries has high proportion: 19.15%; (public security 9.21%,
community 8.6%) which requires medical services at K20 to focus on
guaranteeing and performing intensive treatment for injury
emergency. In forms of fighting, the proportion of wounded soldiers
- In forms of fighting, the proportion of wounded soldiers from
fighting riots, protests and rebels: 4.83%; Attacking criminals:
1.83%; Injured from training and marching: 1.43%. In comparison
with military medical mission summary data in the anti-American
resistance war in the Southern battlefield, it shows the average
proportion of wounded soldiers in the campaign: 11.46%. Therefore,
the proportion of wounded soldiers in forms of fighting of Public
Security is usually lower than that in the Army.
- The proportion of wounded soldiers in term of injury

severity: severe 7.5%, medium 12.5%, minor 80.0%. In comparison
20
with military medical mission summary data in the Southern
battlefield, it shows that: severe 15.34%, medium 29.38%, minor
55.28%. Therefore, when Public Security officers are wounded, they
mainly suffer from minor injuries.
- According to wounded part: Flesh wounds 34.87%; Lower
limb fractures 28.53%; Upper limb fractures 19.02%; Chest and
abdominal trauma 10.80%; Head face neck 6.62%; Traumatic brain
injuries 6.34%. The comparison with the Army shows that: For both
Public Security and the Military, the most commonly wounded part is
the flesh (34.87/65.23).
- Traumatizing factors: lethal weapons account for a high
rate of injury and death 63.6%, in which death accounts for
27.3%. Primitive weapons such as: thick bamboo stick, knife,
falchion, brick, rock account for 36.4% rate of injury.
+ The reality of material facilities, human resources and
medical qualifications of K20:
- Regarding material facilities, K20 infirmary basically
guarantees sufficient area for health examination and emergency
treatment.
- Regarding medical equipment, the infirmary still lacks some
important basic pieces of equipment to serve trauma emergency.
- Regarding the medicine list of 87 medicines, it is still unable
to meet the requirements for outdoor emergency and treatment.
21
Survey results of the reality of material facilities, medical
equipment, human resources, expenditures show that methods of
guaranteeing medical materials of K20 combine guarantees in kind
and in cash, but they have yet to meet the requirements for the

missions and combats of K20 in the current period.
4.2. METHODS OF BUILDING MEDICAL EQUIPMENT AND
MEDICINE LIST FOR K20 AND COMBAT MEDICINE BASIC
LOADS FOR THE SPECIAL TASK FORCE
4.2.1. Regarding methods of calculation and establishment of list
contents and basic load packaging method. Particularly we have
built:
- Adequate and fundamental list of medicines and medical
equipment.
- List of combat medicine basic loads for the Special Task
Force.
- Methods of packaging combat medicine basic loads.
4.2.2. Regarding the implementation of opinion collection:
Divided into 3 phases:
- Phase 1: Collecting opinions from direct combat units of
K20.
- Phase 2: Collecting opinions from medical officers of K20
and Special Force Police who are the direct consumers of the basic
loads.
22
- Phase 3: Collecting opinions from leading experts and
officers in military medical ordnance of Ministry of National
Defence, Ministry of Public Security.
4.2.3. Regarding results of contribution opinion collection:
- Most of the opinions suggested increasing the quantity. The
number of votes with opinions and the number of opinions in one vote
decreased.
- Some pieces of equipment and medicines, although they have
only 01 opinion, are very practical such as: Supplementing
antihypertensive medicines, Self-use Tourniquet to replace rubber

Tourniquet, Soft splints to replace Inox splints, Petrov needle in KB
basic loads, Sterile gloves in KN basic loads.
- The number of new additions is not high, especially in the list of
medical equipment, list of main medicines as well as combat medicine
basic loads.
4.2.4. Regarding contents of established list
4.2.4.1. Establishing the list of medical equipment
- The draft list proposed for the collection of opinions from
medical officers K20 and experts includes 376 pieces of equipment
agreed with by medical officers of K20 as well as medical experts.
- The selection of 25 lists of most fundamental medical
equipment so that research results have practical significance and
suitable application for direct combat units such as K20 infirmary.
- Expert opinion collection seminar on lists of fundamental
medical equipment: 25/25 opinions (100%) agreed with suggestions.
23
4.2.4.2. Establishing medicine list used for K20
- The initial draft list proposed for the collection of opinions
from medical officers K20 includes 409 medicines.
- After collecting opinions from medical officers K20 and
medical officers of direct combat units, we made some adjustments
to decrease to 209 medicines.
- Collecting opinions for the third time from experts: 25/25
opinions (100%) agreed with the suggestions.
4.2.4.3. List of combat medicine basic loads
A. List of combat medicine basic loads for
Battalion: KB BASIC LOADS.
- List of KB basic loads initially proposed includes 56 items of
15 groups (11 groups of medicines and 04 groups of tools, bandages).
- After collecting opinions for the second time from medical

officers, we built the list of KB basic loads including 60 items, 32
medicines, 10 bandages and gauze, 04 syringe and surgical thread
items, 09 minor operation tools and 05 other tools.
- Collecting opinions from medical officers for the third time and
experts reached a consensus over the proposed list and suggested
replacing Inox splints with bone-fixing soft splints, rubber Tourniquet
with self-use Tourniquet, and supplementing Petrov needle.
- As a result, KB basic loads include 61 items, 33 medicines,
28 tools, bandages and gauze.
24
KB basic loads that we built not only serve Special Force Police
but also serve, complement, support Y base number in the defence area
performing the task of preventing and fighting riots, protests, overturns.
B. List of combat medicine basic loads for Company: KC BASIC
LOADS
- List of KC basic loads initially proposed includes 33 items 20
medicines, 13 medical tools, bandages, classified into 05 groups of
medicines (Antibiotics, hemostatics, painkillers febrifuge
tranquillizers muscle relaxants, antiseptics, other medicines) and 01
groups of medical tools.
- After collecting opinions from medical officers K20 and from
experts, we received suggestions to replace rubber Tourniquet with
self-use Tourniquet and supplementing bone-fixing soft splints.
- Therefore, KC basic loads include 35 items 21 medicines, 14
tools, bandages and gauze.
KC basic loads can supersede Medicine Bag of physicians, can
be equipped for teams and squads of traffic police to perform first aid
in traffic accidents, target protection commanding positions.
C. List of combat medicine basic loads for Individual: KN BASIC
LOADS

- List of KN basic loads initially proposed includes 11 items 04
medicines, 07 tools, bandages and gauze.
- After studying the T81 base number, D84 base number.
Chemical antidote base number used for Infantry proposed a list of
13 items 8 medicines, 5 medical tools, bandages.
25
- Collected opinions from experts suggested omitting
Loratadine, replacing rubber Tourniquet with self-use Tourniquet,
retaining Sterile gloves.
As a result, list of KN basic loads includes 13 items 07
medicines, 06 tools, bandages and gauze. During the establishment,
we especially paid great attention to shock preventive medicines,
toxic preventive medicines, tools for cardiopulmonary resuscitation,
rubber gloves. Compared to the tactic rescue medical emergency bag
of New Zealand used in the police force with 11 items, KN basic
loads display more benefits.
Research results of the establishment of KB, KC, KN basic loads
for the Special Task Force of K20, Ministry of Public Security make
