What is the purpose of the Tactical Evacuation Care phase?

The purpose of the Tactical Evacuation Care phase is to facilitate the efficient and safe transportation of casualties to locations where they can receive definitive medical care. This phase is critical as it ensures that casualties, who may have sustained life-threatening injuries during combat, are moved as quickly as possible to facilities capable of providing advanced medical intervention. During this transition, medical personnel may continue to provide care, stabilize the patient, and prepare them for transport, thus bridging the gap between the initial care provided on the battlefield and the comprehensive treatments available in a hospital setting. This phase plays a vital role in minimizing morbidity and mortality rates among combat casualties by ensuring timely access to critical care services.
