STANDARD
Student will verify evacuation procedures, identify major components of the medical threat, identify preventive medicine procedures, identify requirement and responsibility for Field Sanitation Teams (FST), and identify the combat lifesaver IAW FMs 8-10-6, 21-10, and TRADOC Pam 525-50.
Enabling Learning Objective B
VG-A-18
Current medical evacuation doctrine and organization are the result of:
An evolutionary process.
The assimilation of lessons learned on the
battle field.
VG-A-19
IMPORTANCE OF EVACUATION
The increase in the speed and lethality of combat formations has served to increase the importance of medical evacuation as the key link in the continuum of care.
VG-A-20
MEDEVAC REQUEST FORMAT
There are two formats for the medical evacuation request format. These are:
War time
VG-A-21
The peacetime format differs from the wartime format as follows:
Line 6 - changed to number and type of wound.
Line 9 - changed to description of terrain.
VG-A-22
MEDEVAC REQUEST FORMAT
Once the request is prepared, the platoon leader/sergeant’s responsibility is to ensure it is correct and relayed to the appropriate medical unit by radio.
VG-A-23
DISEASES & NONBATTLE INJURIES
Historically, in every conflict the U.S. has been involved in, only 20 percent of all hospital admissions have been from combat injuries.
The other 80 percent have been from diseases and nonbattle injuries (DNBI).

Today’s FSTs serve as advisors to the commander concerning individual PMM to prevent DNBI.
