CGOs are, therefore, designed to provide a logical and consistent approach to emergencies in operational medicine and are to be used to guide critical decision making. The publication also has utility for those personnel who train and equip the clinicians, including those responsible for developing medical capability across the Defence Lines of Development (DLOD)

CGOs replace Casualty Treatment Regimes (CTRs) that were produced in 1986 and 1993 with a similar overarching objective.
