Medical Evacuation and Medical Platoon Leaders Handbook

A great value! Two military manuals combine into one book. If you purchase both books separate you will pay more for the books plus shipping cost. (Medical Evacuation) Provides doctrine, as well as techniques and procedures for conducting medical evacuation and medical regulating operations. Medical evacuation encompasses both the evacuation of Soldiers from the point of injury (POI) or wounding to a medical treatment facility (MTF) staffed and equipped to provide essential care in theater and further evacuation from the theater to provide definitive, rehabilitative, and convalescent care in the continental United States (CONUS) and the movement of patients between MTFs or to staging facilities. Medical evacuation entails the provision of en route medical care; supports the joint health service support (JHSS) system; and links the continuum of care. In addition, it discusses the difference between medical evacuation and casualty evacuation (CASEVAC), as well as coordination requirements for and the use of nonmedical transportation assets to accomplish the CASEVAC mission. MEDICAL PLATOON LEADERS HANDBOOK Provides information on the structure and operation of all medical platoons and medical sections that are organic to combat and combat support.
