Medical Evacuation Planning in Support of the Brigade Combat Team

摘要

At the National Training Center (NTC) at Fort Ir-win, California, units routinely struggle with casualty evacuation, even when mission rehearsal exercises have vast infrastructure, semistatic locations, and degraded enemy capabilities. As we begin to prepare for conflict with a 'Siear peer" adversary as identified in Training Circular (TC) 7-100, Hybrid Threat, medical planners must develop evacuation plans that are synchronized with the tactical plan and are understood and rehearsed at the executor level. This article identifies friction points and potential ways to overcome the obstacles that will prevent us from clearing the battlefield.
