The article "History of the Medevac — How Air Ambulances Changed War" by Will Dabbs, MD, delves into the evolution of medical evacuation (medevac) via air transport in military contexts, highlighting its significant impact on survival rates among wounded soldiers. Starting with French aviation pioneer Isidore Auguste Marie Louis Paulhan's 1915 mission to save Milan Rastislav Štefánik, it traces pivotal moments like Lt. Carter Harman’s WW2 helicopter rescue in Burma and the development of medevac practices during the Korean and Vietnam Wars. The article emphasizes the lifesaving value of rapidly evacuating casualties within the "golden hour" and describes the advanced medical support provided in modern conflicts, leading to unprecedented survival rates, particularly noted during the Global War on Terror, and how these military techniques have influenced civilian medical evacuation systems.
