MEDEVAC is the routine evacuation of injured personnel from lower echelon medical care to higher echelon medical care. MEDEVAC is conducted using dedicated lift, with medical care available, and by priority. MEDEVAC planning is conducted within all sustainment planning (see ATP 4-02.2 for more information). G-195. Air MEDEVAC capabilities include the 15x HH-60M aircraft MEDEVAC company, which breaks down into four forward support MEDEVAC platoons and one area support platoon. Typically, a forward support MEDEVAC platoon consisting of three HH-60M air ambulance helicopters in support of an aviation task force. The area support platoon also operates three HH-60M aircraft and performs both point of injury missions as well as area support patient transfer missions. The forward support MEDEVAC platoon leader or designated representative briefs the air MEDEVAC plan at the air mission coordination meeting, the air mission briefing, and the health service support rehearsal.
