Questionable Use of the Domestic Aeromedical Evacuation System
Abstract
After World War II, DOD established a policy that all patients would be evacuated by airlift whenever practicable. The aeromedical evacuation system offers continuous evacuation service throughout the world. In fiscal year 1973, DOD spent about$29 million to move about49,000 patients in its worldwide system. In this report GAO discusses how the domestic segment of the system has operated and opportunities to improve it.
