MEDEVAC
A MEDEVAC is an abbreviation for "medical evacuation."The term MEDEVAC is usually applied to a vehicleplane, or helicopter used as an ambulance (sometimes called an "air ambulance"). This permits the rapid transport of seriously injured persons, particularly trauma patients, from the scene of the accident to the hospital. News accounts of such transportation often use the terms 'airlifted' or 'LifeFlighted', although MEDEVAC is a common term used by civilians as well. Most patients transported by MEDEVAC are taken to a specialized hospital known as a trauma center. MEDEVAC can be misconstrued, as it may not clarify as to whether ground or air assets are being utilized, and therefore it is best to make it clear during planning and communication.
