This current set of medical guidelines was developed by collaborating with Emergency Medicine professionals, experienced Flight Medics, Aeromedical Physician Assistants, Critical Care Nurses, and Flight Surgeons. There has been close coordination in developing these guidelines by the Joint Trauma System, the Committee of En Route Combat Casualty Care, and the Committee of Tactical Combat Casualty Care. The shared goal is to ensure excellent en-route care that is standard across all evacuation and emergency medical pre-hospital units. All these enhancements and improvements will advance en-route care across the services and the Department of Defense. This handbook was published in February 2023.
