Next-Generation Combat Casualty Care

Abstract

The Next-Generation Combat Casualty Care program is developing advances in critical efforts to preserve warfighter life and well-being in the battlefields of the future. This research will directly address a leading cause of potentially preventable battlefield casualties by investigating new approaches for developing whole blood substitutes for traumatic injury that can be deployed on the battlefield in far forward settings. Additional potential uses apply to disaster relief, mass casualty events, and stabilization missions. Advances within this program will ensure that the U.S. remains able to care for service members in peer and near-peer conflict by addressing gaps in combat casualty care.
