CASEVAC is a shorthand word that means "
casualty evacuation". This can apply to injured soldiers or civilians, and is used to denote the emergency
patient evacuation of injured people from a combat zone. CASEVAC can be done by both ground and air. CASEVACs by air are almost exclusively done by helicopter. . CASEVAC aircraft are not necessarily equipped with specific life saving equipment or specially trained medical personnel. They are used as a primary means of getting a casualty back to another location were they can be treated by professional medical staff.
