The concept being tested is how a Mortuary Affairs collection company is organized to support forward reception, temporary storage, and evacuation of remains. The standard structure relies on four platoons, each with four teams, to provide broad geographic reach and redundancy in the forward area. Each team is capable of establishing a Mortuary Affairs Collection Point to receive and safeguard remains close to the battlefield. A platoon can establish a Temporary Mortuary Evacuation Point to control the flow of remains from forward sites toward MACPs and ultimately to processing and disposition. This arrangement ensures coverage, accountability, and a clear, efficient flow of remains from initial reception to final disposition. Other configurations don’t align with that organization: they change the number of platoons or teams, assign MACP responsibilities differently, or omit the TMEP capability, which would weaken forward operations.
