MILITARY CARE FOR BATTLEFIELD CASUALTIES

• Depend upon battlefield conditionsUrban vs rural mountainous terrain

• Small arms fire vs. explosive devices• Geography of battlefield• Dedicated resources available on site• Health care system primary mission

is treatment of casualties

CARE OF BATTLEFIELD CASUALTIES

Stratified to provide immediate access to basic care

Stabilization in the battle field Progressive levels of evacuation to

advanced care in rear Evacuation to homeland for

definitive care & recovery

SUMMARY

Current civilian trauma system takes origin from military experience

Battlefield mass casualties demand different resources and capabilities

Principles of triage and evacuation similar between military and civilian systems

Military system dedicated to trauma care as primary mission
