Chapter 8 leaders may task supply or other vehicles to backhaul or otherwise transport noncurrent casualties to the SAS. In other cases, the PSG may direct platoon litter teams to carry the casualties to the rear. 8-100. Leaders should minimize the number of Soldiers required to evacuate casualties. Casualties with minor wounds can walk or even assist with carrying the more seriously wounded. Soldiers can make fieldexpedient litters by cutting small trees and putting the poles through the sleeves of buttoned ACU blouses. A travois, or skid, can be used for CASEVAC. The wounded are strapped on this litter, and one person pulls it. It can be made locally from durable, rollable plastic and fastened with tie-down straps. In rough terrain, or on patrols, litter teams can evacuate casualties to the SAS. They are then carried with the unit either until transportation can reach them or until they are left at a position for later pickup. Treatment and Evacuation Duties and Responsibilities 8-101. Unit TACSOP and OPORDs address casualty treatment and evacuation in detail. They cover the duties and responsibilities of key personnel, the evacuation of chemically contaminated casualties (on separate routes from uncontaminated casualties), and the priority for operating key weapons and positions. They specify preferred and alternate methods of evacuation and make provisions for retrieving and safeguarding the weapons, ammunition, and equipment of casualties. Slightly wounded personnel are treated and returned to duty by the lowest echelon possible. Platoon aid men evaluate sick Soldiers and treat or evacuate them as necessary. Casualty evacuation is rehearsed like any other critical part of an operation. 8-102. Procedures for using the casualty feeder report are found in DA Form 1156 and field medical card, DD Form 1380. Before casualties are evacuated to the CCP or beyond, leaders should remove all key operational or sensitive items and equipment, including COMSEC devices or SOIs, maps, and position location devices. Every unit should establish a TACSOP for handling the weapons and ammunition of its wounded in action. Protective masks must stay with the individual. 8-103. At the CCP, the senior trauma specialist conducts triage of all casualties, takes the necessary steps to stabilize their condition, and initiates the process of evacuating them to the rear for further treatment. He helps the 1SG arrange evacuation via ground or air ambulance, or by nonstandard means. Evacuation Vehicles 8-104. When possible, the HHC medical platoon ambulances provide evacuation and enroute care from the Soldier's POI or the troop's CCP to the SAS. The ambulance team supporting the DRT works in coordination with the senior trauma specialist supporting the platoons. In mass casualty situations, nonmedical vehicles can be used to assist in CASEVAC as directed by the DRT commander. Plans for using nonmedical vehicles to perform CASEVAC should be included in the unit TACSOP. Ground ambulances from the brigade support medical company or supporting corps air ambulances evacuate patients from the SAS back to the brigade support medical company MTF located in the BSA. Ambulance Requests 8-105. The DRT or its platoons contact the medical company on the medical company command frequency for all MEDEVAC requests if the assigned DRT ambulance is not available. If unable to contact the medical company on that frequency, the DRT unit should attempt to relay the request on the next higher command frequency. Air Evacuation 8-106. For evacuation by air, the DRT uses the standard nine-line air evacuation request format (see Table 8-2). The medical company prioritizes the request with others it receives to determine if air evacuation is possible. In conducting the evacuation operation, the DRT accomplishes the following tasks: Prepares and secures a suitable PZ/LZ for the aircraft. Provides terminal guidance during the aircraft’s approach to the PZ/LZ. 8-18 ATTP 3-20.97 16 November 2010
Table 8-2. Nine-line air evacuation request Line Item Explanation 1. Location of Pickup Site. 2. Radio Frequency, Call Sign, Suffix. 3. No. of Patients by Precedence. 4. Special Equipment. 5. No. of Patients by Type. 6. Security Pickup Site (Wartime). 7. Number and Type of Wound, Injury, Illness (Peacetime). 8. Method of Marking Pickup Site. 9. Patient Nationality and Status. 10. CBRN Contamination (Wartime). 11. Terrain Description (Peacetime). Sustainment Encrypt grid coordinates. When using DRYAD Numeral Cipher, the same SET line is used to encrypt grid zone letters and coordinates. To preclude misunderstanding, a statement is made that grid zone letters are not included in the message (unless unit TSOP specifies its use at all times.) Encrypt the frequency of the radio at the pickup site, not a relay frequency. The call sign (and suffix if used) of person to be contacted at the pickup site may be transmitted in the clear. Report only applicable info & encrypt brevity codes. A = Urgent, B = Urgent- Surgical, C = Priority, D = Routine, E = Convenience. (If two or more categories are reported in the same request, insert the word “break” between each category.) Encrypt applicable brevity codes. A = None, B = Hoist, C = Extraction equipment, D = Ventilator. Report on applicable information and encrypt brevity code. If requesting MEDEVAC for both types, insert the word “break” between the litter entry and the ambulatory entry: L + # of Patients – Liter; A + # of Patients – Ambulatory (sitting). N = No enemy troops in area, P = Possibly enemy troops in area (approach with caution), E = Enemy troops in area (approach with caution), X = Enemy troops in area (armed escort required). Specific information regarding patient wounds by type (gunshot or shrapnel). Report serious bleeding, along with patient blood type, if known. Encrypt the brevity codes. A = Panels, B = Pyrotechnic signal, C = Smoke signal, D = None, E = Other. Number of patients in each category need not be transmitted. Encrypt only applicable brevity codes. A = US Military, B = US Civilian, C = Non-US Military, D = Non-US Civilian, E = EPW. Include this line only when applicable. Encrypt the applicable brevity codes. C = Chemical, B = Biological, R = Radiological, N = Nuclear. Include details of terrain features in and around proposed landing site. If possible, describe the relationship of site to a prominent terrain feature (lake, mountain, and tower). 16 November 2010 ATTP 3-20.97 8-19
