CASEVAC (Casualty Evacuation)

CASEVAC, or casualty evacuation, refers to the process of transporting injured personnel from the site of an incident to a medical facility for treatment. This process is critical in military operations, emergencies, or disasters, ensuring that casualties receive timely medical attention to improve survival chances. It may involve various modes of transportation, such as helicopters, ambulances, or ground vehicles, depending on the situation. Effective CASEVAC operations prioritize patient stabilization and swift movement, highlighting the importance of medical protocols and coordination among military and emergency response teams.
