practically lengthy as the evolution of man himself. Hand in hand with the evolution of the mechanisms of warfare went an evolution in the manner we handled medical evacuations
of our injured. The battlefield demanded a regimented and highly effective system to transport injured troops. The troops must, after all, be moved from the field to places
where they can receive the most adequate care. The way we have accomplished this, however, has changed considerably over time. Since World War I the time from injury
to being in the hands of skilled medical personnel was lessened considerably as was the trauma a man was forced to endure in transport from the battlefield to medical personnel.
