Abstract:
Battalion aid stations usually serve as the critical bridge between medical rescue and early treatment,whose treatment efficiency will make a huge difference in the survival rate of casualties on battlefields in the future.This paper reviews the evolution of the functions of U.S.military battalion aid stations.By taking the U.S.Marine Corps and the 75th Ranger Regiment,this article elaborates on the practices by the U.S.military in the construction of battalion aid stations,and unveils the takeaways from the construction of the army battalion aid stations and their limitations.It is recommended that future battalion aid stations should set support tasks based on the need of medical services,optimize the make-up of battalion aid stations,improve their support capabilities and informatization,and provide better en-route treatment in order to ensure battalion aid stations can play a more important role.
