Extract

The Falkland Islands conflict in the South Atlantic once again drew attention to the paramount importance of making adequate plans for the treatment of the sick and wounded, and their subsequent removal from the battle area. The pages of history are littered with accounts of battles, and in some cases wars, being lost because of the inadequate or non-existent plans made to give logistic medical support to the fighting units
