… airmobile medical brigades.

"In several years, the Russian Armed Forces will activate 23 airmobile medical brigades capable of rendering medical aid to heavily wounded personnel and evacuate them from the battlefield, according to the Izvestia daily.

According to Defense Ministry Main Medical Directorate Chief Alexander Fisun, the brigades will be equipped with versatile medical evacuation modules outfitted with cutting-edge diagnostic equipment and resuscitation and volume ventilator systems. The modules are commonized with all military transport planes and helicopters in terms of dimensions and attachments while their equipment is integrated with the same equipment used in military hospitals. According Gen. Fisun, the introduction of this hardware will boost the chances for survivability for military and civilian casualties of terrorist attacks and natural disasters.

The primary mission of the military medics is to preserve the life of every service member and civilian in natural or man-made disaster-stricken areas, Fisun stressed.

The US military has a number of medical units from various branches to accomplish that mission. And many more. Based on the US experience in SE Asia and the conflicts afterward. Taking care of WIAs from Medevac thru all the levels of care. To a military hospital … And it just continues to improve …
