Modernization is at the forefront when it comes to aiding the fight for the military but is also necessary when providing care to injured servicemen and women. Doug Englen, Military Sales and strategy manager at Bell talks to AirMed&Rescue about how the Army is working to face future challenges. We also share a Sikorsky program round up, covering the HH-67W Jolly Green II and DEFIANT X endeavors.
“One of the best ways to save lives during combat operations is to provide blood products to forward deployed medics and corpsmen as soon as possible.” Can drones transform battlefield medicine? We take a look. Furthermore, military transfers between medical facilities are a key part of caring for troops who are injured.
