Effectiveness of Installation Aeromedical Evacuation

Abstract

The Army faces the challenge of rebalancing priorities amid reduction of funding for the Global War on Terrorism while still maintaining effective aeromedical evacuation support for both garrison and operational missions. The central research question is whether the current system of aeromedical evacuation is effective in support of Army installations. Effectiveness was examined against three evaluation criteria: cost, integration, and control. Results showed that the effectiveness of installation aeromedical evacuation was determined to be less than desirable in cost and neutral in both integration and control mechanisms. The overall conclusion is that the current system of aeromedical evacuation completes the mission, but it is not efficient.
