Army Medical Support: Ensuring Air Evacuation in Crisis Situations

This act aims to maintain and strengthen the Army's aeromedical evacuation capabilities, which are crucial for rapid assistance to the wounded in combat zones and during natural disasters. It ensures that medical personnel and equipment will always be available to save lives, regardless of the situation. Citizens can feel safer knowing that the medical emergency response system is ready for action.
Key points
The U.S. Army must maintain dedicated aeromedical evacuation units, with appropriate personnel, training, and aircraft.
Changes to the structure of these units are only possible after consultation with Congress and a risk assessment, to avoid weakening their readiness.
These capabilities will be used to support military operations, respond to chemical/biological disasters, provide humanitarian aid, and conduct emergency response at military installations.
