What is the term for casualty movement aboard nonmedical vehicles or aircraft without en route medical care?

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

Answer: (C)

The key idea is distinguishing casualty transport by whether medical care is provided en route. When casualties are moved using vehicles or aircraft that do not have medical personnel or medical equipment on board, the term used is CASEVAC. There is no onboard medical care during the transfer, and care is not provided until the casualty reaches a medical facility. If the transport includes trained medical personnel and care during the journey, it becomes MEDEVAC. Evacuation by itself is a general term for moving people out of danger and doesn’t specify whether medical care is provided during the move. AXP isn’t the standard term used for this concept. So the term for casualty movement aboard nonmedical vehicles or aircraft without en route medical care is CASEVAC.
