Popis: Light Footprint Operations (LFO) is a concept not currently found in EU doctrine, despite many EU military missions being small in size and shorter in duration. This study, commissioned by the European Defence Agency, defines LFO and its impact on required medical support. The report provides recommendations on doctrine, harmonisation and standardisation, modularisation of roles, multinational cooperation and engagement with civilian medicine.
