Abstract: Objective To investigate the applicability of simulation technology in the development of medical support plans and the evaluation of their effectiveness by focusing on the combat operations between Russian and Ukrainian forces over the Kherson region.Methods The casualties and medical evacuation routes of Russian military troops were conceptualized based on publicly available data from the Internet.Computer simulation methods were used to model the wartime medical evacuation by Russian troops and the results were quantitatively analyzed.Results Based on independent operations and combined operations of different medical evacuation routes,quantitative indicators such as treatment efficiency at three levels(field hospitals,evacuation hospitals,and base hospitals),evacuation efficiency,and casualties were obtained.Conclusion By constructing multiple parallel and backup evacuation routes,the efficiency of medical evacuation can be improved,with casualties reduced,and the relative safety and stability of evacuation ensured.
