CAUTION: If the casualty has a leg fracture and does not have a head injury, reverse the direction of travel. Move the casualty "head first" when traveling on level ground or going downhill and carry the casualty "feet first" when going uphill. This reversed position helps to keep pressure off the leg fracture. WARNING Do not reverse the direction of travel if the casualty has a head injury. Doing so would put unnecessary and dangerous pressure on the casualty's head. FIGURE 24-3. LITTER POST CARRY AND LITTER ROTATION g. Litter Post Carry If the terrain is very rough, use the litter post carry to keep the litter level. h. Litter Rotation The litter post carry position is also used to rotate the litter, such as going from a downhill carry to an uphill carry. To change direction of movement, such as from feet first to head first, begin in a litter post carry position. The front and back bearers release the litter and the middle bearers rotate the litter and themselves. 24-4. LOAD CASUALTIES INTO GROUND AMBULANCES Casualties are usually evacuated by a medical ground vehicle (ground ambulance), by a medical helicopter (air ambulance), or by a nonmedical military vehicle (military vehicle which is not designed to carry litter casualties). IS0825 24-4
Ambulances have a medical specialist as the driver and another medical specialist to take care of the casualties during evacuation. Follow their instructions for loading, securing, and unloading casualties. a. General Rules A litter casualty is usually loaded with his head toward the front of the vehicle unless the medic staying with the casualties wants the casualty loaded feet first so his wound will be more accessible. When loading casualties into a vehicle, load the most seriously injured casualty last. Make sure that each litter casualty is secured to his litter. Use litter straps when available. Make sure that each litter is secured to the vehicle. Unload casualties in the reverse order in which they are loaded. Unload the most seriously injured casualty first. b. Load Casualties into an M1010, 1 1/4-Ton, 4x4, Truck Ambulance FIGURE 24-4. M1010 AMBULANCE (1 1/4 ton) The M1010 truck ambulance is designed to carry four litter casualties or eight ambulatory casualties or a mixed load of two litter casualties and four ambulatory casualties. When four litter casualties are transported, they are loaded in the following order: Upper right berth. Lower right berth. Upper left berth. Lower left berth. When only two litter casualties are loaded, the sequence is: Upper right berth. Lower right berth. Ambulatory casualties (on left side). IS0825 24-5
