AC/320 (JMC)

The Joint Medical Committee (JMC) is a combined military/civil committee under the auspices of the NATO Senior Civil Emergency Planning Committee (SCEPC).

Its mission is to carry out international coordination of civil and military medical planning.

Its overall task is to see that the Alliance makes optimum use of its limited medical resources and is prepared to expand the essential medical and health services in all types of emergencies.

The JMC provides civil experts in various medical disciplines to assist in operational planning or crisis response, and provides the primary medical advice to the NAC (through the SCEPC) during crises. During operational deployments, civil/military coordination with either host nations or other local authorities is normally carried out through the Civil/Military Cooperation Cell (CIMIC) at the deployed force Headquarters.
