Framework concept

This document presents the framework concept for the German Medical Task Force (MTF), detailing its structure, roles, and deployment. It defines the organisation of tactical units, including groups, platoons, and entire MTF formations, and outlines their medical tasks during times of heightened tension, defence scenarios, and cross-state disaster relief operations.

The MTF is part of Germany’s broader civil protection strategy, complementing regional medical services with federal equipment and training to ensure a unified and interoperable response. The framework also guides the training and operational procedures of personnel, in line with legal and safety regulations, and involves coordination between federal ministries, state authorities, and key relief organisations.
