1. Providing first medical and first aid on the battlefield.

2. Sanitary evacuation from the battlefield to medical centers of the battalion, regiment, division.

3. Evacuation to medical institutions in the rear to provide qualified and specialized care.

4. Treatment in hospitals of various profiles and levels.

6. Return of the healed to the troops.

Thus, medical and evacuation support makes it possible to quickly provide medical assistance to victims and evacuate them along echelons of medical care for a speedy recovery and return to duty.

Medical evacuation support is a set of measures to create conditions for providing medical care to wounded and sick military personnel in the field. It includes the organization of a medical center, the deployment and operation of medical institutions, the equipment of places for collecting and processing the wounded, the provision of vehicles, the organization of the evacuation of the wounded and sick with the aim of their speedy return to inpatient medical institutions.

During combat operations, medical and evacuation support plays an important role in preserving the life and health of military personnel. Firstly, the organization of a medical center allows you to quickly provide first aid to the wounded in battle or on the battlefield, as well as carry out emergency resuscitation measures. Secondly, deployed medical institutions allow the wounded to receive the necessary medical care, and, if necessary, to treat the wounded in inpatient medical institutions.

In addition, in the absence of opportunities to transport the wounded to inpatient medical institutions, the evacuation of the wounded and sick becomes important. In combat conditions, evacuation can be carried out either by air ambulance or using other vehicles. It is important to organize logistics and traffic flow to ensure timely and safe delivery of the wounded to medical facilities.
