Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines why current aeromedical evacuation is not adequate for the combat zone. Aeromedical evacuation is an important capability that the Joint Force Commander must have in order to successfully conduct combat operations. This paper deals with the intratheater tactical transportation of wounded personnel via rotary-wing aircraft. The paper summarizes current joint patient movement doctrine from Joint Pub 4-02.2. It also explains the differences in the U.S. Military services' patient movement capability. The paper details three problems with current aeromedical evacuation doctrine. First, attrition of aircraft, due to combat, is not factored in doctrine. Second, because of their medically trained crews and onboard medical suites, dedicated air ambulance capabilities exceed air casualty evacuation in providing lifesaving transportation. Third, although the Army is assigned the responsibility for transfer of patients to afloat medical treatment facilities, this mission is often accomplished by Navy or Marine Corps rotary-wing casualty evacuation assets. The paper proposes a solution to these problems by establishing a standing Joint Intra-Theater Aeromedical Evacuation Task Force (JIAETF) to provide dedicated aeromedical evacuation to the Joint Force Commander.

This book was released on 2016-10-12 with total page 531 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in trauma care have accelerated over the past decade, spurred by the significant burden of injury from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Between 2005 and 2013, the case fatality rate for United States service members injured in Afghanistan decreased by nearly 50 percent, despite an increase in the severity of injury among U.S. troops during the same period of time. But as the war in Afghanistan ends, knowledge and advances in trauma care developed by the Department of Defense (DoD) over the past decade from experiences in Afghanistan and Iraq may be lost. This would have implications for the quality of trauma care both within the DoD and in the civilian setting, where adoption of military advances in trauma care has become increasingly common and necessary to improve the response to multiple civilian casualty events. Intentional steps to codify and harvest the lessons learned within the military's trauma system are needed to ensure a ready military medical force for future combat and to prevent death from survivable injuries in both military and civilian systems. This will require partnership across military and civilian sectors and a sustained commitment from trauma system leaders at all levels to assure that the necessary knowledge and tools are not lost. A National Trauma Care System defines the components of a learning health system necessary to enable continued improvement in trauma care in both the civilian and the military sectors. This report provides recommendations to ensure that lessons learned over the past decade from the military's experiences in Afghanistan and Iraq are sustained and built upon for future combat operations and translated into the U.S. civilian system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the immediate post-World War II period, Army aviation began to evolve from an observatory role to a mobility role. Helicopter air mobility began to develop in the Army from 1949 onwards. The outbreak of the Korean war assisted and accelerated the acceptance of greater helicopter air mobility within the Army. The Eisenhower period was a golden age for Army aviation, with rapid and extensive developments in air mobility doctrine and tactics. There was also a strong research and development effort to overcome the initial technological lag. These developments allowed the formation of the first air mobile division in 1965 to meet the growing demands of the Vietnam war. This work gives a new understanding of the process of military innovation. Moreover, this case study has important general implications for future military policy-making.
