Categories of evacuation precedence ATP 4-02.2; ATP 4-25.13 Priority Description Priority I—Urgent Is assigned to emergency cases that should be evacuated as soon as possible, and within a maximum of 1 hour, to save life, limb, or eyesight; to prevent complications of serious illness; and to avoid permanent disability. Priority IA—Urgent surgical Is assigned to patients who should be evacuated as soon as possible, and within a maximum of one hour, who must receive far forward surgical intervention to save life, limb, or eyesight and to stabilize them for further evacuation. Priority II—Priority Is assigned to sick and wounded personnel requiring prompt medical care. This precedence is used when the individual should be evacuated within 4 hours, if the medical condition could deteriorate to such a degree that they will become an URGENT precedence, if their requirements for special treatment are not available locally, or if they will suffer unnecessary pain or disability. Priority III—Routine Is assigned to sick and wounded personnel requiring evacuation but whose condition is not expected to deteriorate significantly. The sick and wounded in this category should be evacuated within 24 hours. Priority IV—Convenience Is assigned to patients for whom evacuation by medical vehicle is a matter of medical convenience rather than necessity. Note. NATO STANAG 3204 has deleted the category of Priority IV—Convenience, but this category is still included in the U.S. Army evacuation priorities because the need for it exists in an operational environment.
