The movement of patients under medical supervision to and between medical treatment facilities by air transportation is called?

• A. CASEVAC
• B. Evacuation
• C. Aeromedical Evacuation
• D. MEDEVAC

Answer: (C)

Aeromedical Evacuation means moving patients who require medical supervision by air from one medical facility to another. The essential point is that the transport is by aircraft and that medical care is provided during the flight, so patients stay under medical supervision throughout the move. This distinguishes it from CASEVAC, which is evacuation without on-board medical care, and from MEDEVAC, which is a broader term for medical evacuation that may not specify the transport mode or the same emphasis on continuous medical supervision during air transport. Evacuation in general doesn’t specify the mode or level of care, so it doesn’t fit the scenario as precisely.
