flag U.S. Army leaders demand modernized casualty evacuation to improve survival in future large-scale combat.

flag U.S. Army enlisted leaders are pushing for modernization of casualty evacuation procedures, warning current methods are unfit for future large-scale combat. flag They cite limited transport capacity—especially in infantry units using vehicles that carry only one patient—and a lack of standardized evacuation plans during training. flag In response, the Army is upgrading medical gear, deploying combat paramedics, testing drones and unmanned vehicles for casualty location and supply delivery, expanding combat lifesavers, and updating training to include advanced trauma care techniques like tourniquet conversion and freeze-dried plasma use. flag These changes aim to boost survival rates in high-intensity conflicts.
