The purpose of this research is introducing methods of generating, computing and applying medical resources.

‘’’98 Army Manpower Loss Calculation"
Medical Analysis Tool(MAT)
1.Currently and widely used, data from FM 101-10-1, "Organizational and Technical and Logistic Data" is yielding same result as P-90K´s data which used to calculate casualty generation rate. But problem is reliability problem of these data which yield 3 times higher result to the first research yields. Therefore, there should be reconsidering to apply these data. (P-98K is not considered in manuals)
2. Casualty Generation Rate is determined by the result of manpower loss resource. Therefore, total WIA rate(62%) and non WIA rate, disease rate(95.4%) is replaced until new medical resource generated, in standard of a infantry division.
3. Data of Manpower Loss Resource and Medical Resource from AHSS(;Armed Health Service School) yield same result in the area of measuring certain medical unit´s mission carrying abilities and medical operation planning stage as of "Determination of loss" and "Medical Operation Planning Guideline" from the Army and Joint chief of Staff data.
4. K-98 is valid only after Joint Chief of Staff´s approval.
5. MAT which is being reviewed by medical department of ROK/US Combined Army Force Command, is the first program that is applicable to "Medical Resources" and enable a medical unit independently to determine and plan. But there is still needs of research and study of process of adaptation to Korean environment.
As a result from cross-check of researches, which are previously studied and mentioned, conclusion is summarized as follows. First, there is needs of re-consideration of methods and bases of generating Medical Resources. Second as a matter of morale aspect, it is regarded as a crucial factor of policy making. Finally, early out-putting of Medical Resources can be adapted in operation of MAT. This makes our Army one step ahead in field of Medical Branches.
