摘要

I read with interest Lamb's article on measuring the performance of Critical I Care Air Support Teams (CCAST) during extended periods of duty. For the past 4(1/2) years, I have been the RAF medical officer solely in charge of the UK Aeromedical Evacuation (AE) Service and laterally for 3 months the coalition validating flight surgeon to the US CENTCOM Joint Patient Movement Requirements Center in Al Udeid.
