What term is used when a casualty is transported using a non-medical vehicle?

The term used for transporting a casualty using a non-medical vehicle is CASEVAC. This term specifically refers to the evacuation of casualties from a combat zone or area of danger to a location where they can receive medical care. It is differentiated from MEDEVAC, which involves medically equipped vehicles and personnel trained to provide care during transport.

CASEVAC can involve any type of vehicle that might be available, such as a standard military transport vehicle or even civilian vehicles, whereas MEDEVAC is focused on the dedicated medical aspect of evacuation. Understanding this distinction is crucial for effective communication in emergency situations and for ensuring that casualties receive the appropriate level of care during transportation.
