Abstract

Aim: To reveal the main ways and means of evacuating the wounded from the battlefield. Materials and methods: Research methods: analysis and generalization of scientific and educational literature, data from the Internet; study and gen¬eralization of the experience of combat operations in Ukraine in 2014-2022, the experience of the armies of the leading countries of the world and NATO on ways and means of evacuating the wounded from the battlefield. It was found that any evacuation is carried out only under cover, with high speed and minimizing the time and visibility of rescuers. The main ways and means of evacuating the wounded from the battlefield, which are used in the red, yellow, and green zones, were revealed. Their advantages and disadvantages were presented. Conclusions: Providing timely emergency pre-medical care saves the lives of the wounded and sick, and timely evacuation from the battlefield prevents re-injury or death.
