• Military Review
• As the U.S. Army considers near-peer threats associated with multidomain operations (MDO) and large-scale combat operations (LSCO), it must assess medical implications on overall combat effectiveness and mission success. Estimates for LSCO suggest casualty rates the likes not seen since World War II, requiring the joint force and the Military Health System to reimagine triage, combat casualty care, medical evacuation, force health protection (FHP), and prolonged casualty care to minimize the risk to force.

• Military reverse triage has been described at several points in the literature. However, an extensive review of the concept and any gaps that may exist has not been conducted. This narrative review seeks to understand how reverse triage is used in the military literature and how it might be implemented in practice, as well as the documented historical applications of reverse triage.

• Conflict and Health
• Disease and non-battle injuries (DNBI) often account for more military casualties than those from combat wounds. The February 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine has severely limited access to care in areas with increasing patient care needs beyond combat injuries. The expansion of the draft resulted in an older military population susceptible to musculoskeletal injuries, while trench warfare and harsh winters create conditions conducive to cold weather injuries and infectious diseases. This study aims to assess the prevalence and scope of DNBI in Ukraine. Methods

• Attacks on health care – which are potential war crimes – are increasingly observed in contemporary armed conflicts. The full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine is no exception to this worrisome trend. War crime prosecutions of suspected deliberate attacks on health care facilities require proof that they were the intended target, which is extremely challenging. If health care facilities are attacked more than once, this may increase the likelihood of intent. The Ukrainian Healthcare Center (UHC) began documenting attacks on health infrastructure since the start of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. In this study, the aim was to assess repetitive attacks on Ukrainian health care facilities from February 24, 2022 through October 24, 2023.

- Crisis and conflict dominate the headlines. The ongoing war in Ukraine and the conflict between Israel and the occupied Palestinian territory have brought death, destruction and displacement. But among the major disasters and conflicts. It's important to look for the stories of the people who are helping. As we mark over 5,000 medical evacuations from Ukraine, in this episode of Health in Europe, we'll share stories about some of the sick and injured people who have been transported away from war zones and other emergencies, and of their welcome, medical treatment, recovery and eventual repatriation. We'll also explore the Region's Emergency Medical Teams to learn about people who, with sometimes only hours notice, drop everything to travel to emergency zones. Who are they and what motivates them?

- Health service support for the combat wounded must adapt to changing conditions on the battlefield. While the last twenty years of combat have focused on counterinsurgency operations, future conflicts will likely feature large-scale combat operations (LSCO), with concurrent guerilla and irregular warfare shaping and kinetic operations. The National Security Strategyoutlines that the world is reaching an “inflection point” in which major powers will compete to shape the international order. Underpinning this new era of global campaigning is the continuing threat of conflict with peer and near-peer adversaries.

- The last 20 years of sustained combat operations during the Global War on Terror generated significant advancements in combat casualty care. Improvements in point-of-injury care, en route care, and forward surgical care appropriately aligned with the survival, evacuation, and return to duty needs of the small-scale unconventional conflict. However, casualty numbers in large-scale combat operations have brought into focus the critical need for modernized casualty receiving and convalescence: Role 4 definitive care.

Artikkel: War and disaster are forcing a major rethink around mass casualty
management (ikke åpen tilgang)

• Horne et.al 2024, BMJ Military Health
• Mass casualty events (MASCAL) do not follow the same rules as typical major incidents. In the West at least, the latter often occur in stable, networked trauma systems, whereas MASCAL are characterised by overwhelming numbers of patients, compounded by protracted scene and transport times, decompensated response systems and significant disruption to infrastructure, command and control.

- Observations from Mission Command Training Program Warfighter Exercises

• Fandre 2020, Military Review
• Successful treatment of combat casualties, for the most part, has become an expectation throughout the past eighteen years of combat operations. The U.S. military has the highest level of survival for preventable death in history, with a 92 percent survivability of battlefield injuries.1 The lessons learned in the treatment of these casualties have not been lost; however, when looking through the lens of large-scale combat operations (LSCO), many of these underlying assumptions and expectations cannot be taken for granted by commanders, soldiers, and the American public.

injury patterns and injury prevention in Ukraine since

• Lawry et.al 2025, BMJ Military Health
• The ongoing invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation represents one of the largest ongoing conventional military engagements in the last 20 years. Since the start of the war, an estimated 210 000 Ukrainian soldiers have been injured or killed as a result of combat. This experience could help prognosticate the nature of large-scale combat operations for modern militaries. The aim of this study was to assess current patterns of injuries among military combatants in Ukraine and identify prevention and mitigation methods.

This study adds evidence supporting the utility of peer-based ASR management in operational settings and highlights the need for broader implementation and systematic evaluation.

This raises the need for scales that assess both danger and nondanger-based events among soldiers operating in modern war zones.»
