Under NATO rules, shouldn't we send our select medical trauma specialists from Landstuhl to provide assistance in Belgium?

This is an attack. We could do the following: (1) Send individual military trauma specialists to assist the overloaded Belgian Medical Community. (2) NATO USA offers to send an entire field hospital( based in Ramstein, Germany) to Brussels and begins operations within a week.(3) If options 1 or 2 staff is overwhelmed, set up USAF airlift to from Belgium to Landstuhl, Germany.(4) Walter Reed option

Belgium hasn't asked for anything under Article 5 and I suspect they won't for this specific incident. Now separate support requests for assist from varied law enforcement entities and Intel is likely. I haven't seen anything specific about NATO ramping up, however I'm sure their planning cells have been busy for some time. I'd like to rewrite a popular Mary Poppins lyric "A teaspoon of courage helps the JDAMS go down, the JDAMS go down...."

Sir, thanks for your info. You may be right. With 41 separate civilian police departments of municipal Brussells, the name of the game is to now appears to be 'DO NOT SHARE any information namely intel' and that will hurt everyone. The NATO miltary does share since the Russian threat has been present especially recently.
1.They need to learn to share infomation with each other. We, in the USA ,have learned alot since 9/11 and we slowly but surely have added additional channels of intel to select individuals in their respective law enforcement intelligence sections.
2. The NATO allies' don't have the system now that alerts every department in the USA about every bad person nationwide with a background , no matter how unimportant, it goes to all the departments. BOLO..Be on the lookout for...
3. The local police in Belgian culture is not to share it with any other police department nor forward this information to INTERPOL so no other deparments in the EU have anything on these guys. If interagency sharing of open-source infromation and intelligence were done like it is here, these criminals would find it more difficult to transit back and forth from ISIL territory.

It's great for us to help, but I must imagine that Belgium (a country of 11 million people) is able to handle 300 casualties.

Yes, but my buddy says not IED trauma specialists. those are few and far between and we are talking carnage. I had the luxury of talking and befriending Navy PA's and surgeons 0-3 to 0-6 rank, during my time at PRT Farah,Afghanistan, who had morbid curiosity with head and other strange wounds you would not normally have to fix people in normal medical practice stateside. They are not used to treating blast injuries and such and these naval personnel appreciated the real hands-on experience and problem-solving stuff that was not text-book injury.
