Army Techniques Publication 4-02.13 is consistent with Field Manual 4-02 while adopting concepts as necessary and updating terminology. Casualty evacuation involves the unregulated movement of casualties using predesignated or opportune tactical or logistical aircraft and vehicles. These vehicles are not staffed with medical personnel for en route care (unless augmentation is planned for in the operation plan). These vehicles do not have organic medical equipment. If the combat medic is not available to provide en route care, the combat lifesaver may accompany the casualties to monitor their conditions. Casualty evacuation is oftentimes the first step in a process that moves a wounded or injured Soldier from the point of injury into the multifaceted Army Health System.
