AMedP-8.15
All deployable military personnel in NATO Forces, and the national training organisations that run and record their casualty care training
AMedP-8.15 is NATO's requirement to train every deployable service member in pre-hospital casualty care under tactical conditions, agreed between nations under STANAG 2122.
AMedP-8.15 is the NATO Allied Medical Publication that standardizes the training requirement for pre-hospital casualty care, under the restrictions posed by a tactical situation, for all military personnel within the NATO Forces. It is not a technical care manual in the way some other Allied Medical Publications are: it sets a training obligation, built around a single module, Casualty Care, rather than a body of clinical guidance in its own right. The edition in front of us is Edition B, version 1, promulgated in October 2022, effective on receipt and superseding Edition A, version 1.
The document's own participants clause is short and deliberately unqualified: "all deployable personnel". There is no separate tier for medics, combat lifesavers or any other specialism within this particular requirement; the module is the same one for everyone who can be deployed. Delivery is expected from "qualified personnel that preferably is experienced in operational medicine", teaching "in accordance with internationally accepted concepts and nationally defined scopes of practice", so while the requirement is uniform for trainees, responsibility for organising and running it, and for setting how long it takes, sits with each nation.
AMedP-8.15 sets out its own method rather than leaving delivery open: training should be "current practice-centered, based on the rules of effective adult learning", combining knowledge-centred lectures with demonstrations, skill practices, simulations and repeated practical exercises as the main part of the work. Training is then followed by an assessment of practical skills on a regular basis, a cycle the document leaves each nation to set rather than fixing centrally. It ties timing to deployment rather than to a calendar: the knowledge and skills the module covers "should have been acquired and re-assessed before personnel are deployed abroad", and duration itself is stated plainly to be "at national discretion". The module's own detailed training objectives, the specific skills and clinical content behind it, are the syllabus a qualified instructor delivers in person and are not reproduced here.
The Letter of Promulgation and the record of reservations that follows it show this is not applied identically everywhere: several nations have recorded reservations against specific points of the requirement, and the document itself tells a reader that the printed list "may not be complete" and to check the NATO Standardization Document Database for what currently stands. That variation sits inside a shared agreement, not outside it: nations differ in how they meet the requirement, not in whether they have agreed to have one.
AMedP-8.15 binds through STANAG 2122: "the agreement of nations to use this publication is recorded in" that STANAG. A nation is committed once it has ratified STANAG 2122; for an individual training organisation, the practical trigger is simply having deployable personnel, since the requirement applies to everyone in that category rather than to a named product, contract or sector. Chapter 3 also points a reader needing "additional guidance necessitated by specific circumstances" straight back to STANAG 2122's own cover page, which is where nation-specific detail on this requirement actually lives.
There is no certification against AMedP-8.15, and the document names no accredited body, notified body or NATO scheme that reviews or recognises this training. The assessment that exists is internal to the requirement itself: practical skills are assessed by the training organisation on a regular basis, and are expected to be current, re-assessed, before a deployable person deploys abroad. Beyond that, how faithfully a nation follows the requirement is a matter of its own recorded reservations, not an external audit.
AMedP-8.15 is an operational training requirement, not a management-system standard: the instruction itself, the demonstrations and practical exercises, and the assessment of practical skills happen in person, delivered by qualified personnel, not in software. What evidencing this kind of requirement involves in practice is straightforward but easy to lose track of at scale: a current training programme document, a record of who counts as deployable personnel, and a log of who has completed the Casualty Care module, when, and when their skills were last re-assessed. ComplyTrain is built for exactly that kind of record-keeping in general, holding the procedure, the training record and the re-assessment date so a unit can show, on request, that a given person was current before deployment.
ComplyTrain does not deliver the casualty care instruction itself, does not run the demonstrations or practical exercises the module requires, and does not assess anyone's practical skills. Which training obligations apply to a given contract or unit is set by national policy and the customer's own quality clause, not by this page. The standards explorer shows what else sits alongside AMedP-8.15 and STANAG 2122, and we are glad to talk through how ComplyTrain can hold that evidence trail.

No. AMedP-8.15 names no certification scheme, and no accredited body, notified body or NATO scheme reviews or recognises this training. It creates a training obligation carried out through each nation's own training organisation, not a certificate an organisation can hold.
"All deployable personnel", with no separate tier for a specialist role within this particular requirement. Training is expected to be delivered by qualified personnel, preferably with operational medicine experience.
It binds nations through the agreement recorded in STANAG 2122, so a nation is committed once it has ratified that STANAG. Recorded national reservations show that nations still apply it somewhat differently in practice, so how it lands on a specific training organisation depends on national policy.
AMedP-8.15 leaves both to national discretion rather than fixing a figure itself: duration is stated as "at national discretion", and the assessment cycle for practical skills is described only as regular, not as a set interval.
STANAG 2122 is the agreement by which nations commit to use AMedP-8.15; AMedP-8.15 is the Allied Medical Publication that actually sets out the training requirement. Chapter 3 also directs readers needing guidance for specific circumstances to STANAG 2122's own cover page.
It appears in a national reservation, not the document's own body text: the United Kingdom's recorded reservation points to AJMedP-4, on force health protection, for direction on hygiene content that this edition of AMedP-8.15 no longer carries itself.
