CASEVAC stands for?

• A. Casualty Evacuation by Medical Vehicle or Aircraft
• B. Casualty Evacuation and Control
• C. Casualty Evacuation in Civil Vehicle or Aircraft
• D. Casualty Evacuation in Non Medical Vehicle or Aircraft

Answer: (D)

CASEVAC is the movement of casualties using transport that is not configured for medical care. It covers evacuations carried out by vehicles or aircraft that don’t have dedicated medical personnel, equipment, or life-support capabilities on board. If the asset is a medical evacuation asset with trained medical crew and equipment, that’s MEDEVAC, not CASEVAC. Among the options, evacuation performed in a non-medical vehicle or aircraft best fits the CASEVAC concept, because it describes moving casualties without onboard medical support.
