Optimal CASEVAC for Joint Force 2020 "For the Best"

Abstract

The following concept is a blueprint for change within Army aviation to do more with less. In accordance with General Dempseys guidance, the Joint Force of tomorrow must be able to achieve our national security objectives against a threat that is increasingly difficult to define, even as we reduce budgets. The following research question provides the framework for Army Aviation to address some of these challenges: Under fiscal constraints, how does the U.S. Army provide the Joint Force optimal aeromedical evacuation that is adaptive, agile, and interoperable in the current and future operating environment? Optimal CASEVAC is using the Armys current inventory of utility and cargo airframes, to posture and organize a standardized CASEVAC capability to both compliment the Armys MEDEVAC capability and enhance the Joint Forces ability to anticipate, and rapidly respond to contingencies and threats.
