Updating the Battalion Aid Station

Historically, the Battalion Aid Station (BAS) was the first point in the battlefield where a casualty pauses long enough with a provider to receive more involved treatments. This was a critical point in the treatment and evacuation continuum of care.

However, during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the BAS saw less critically injured casualties due to the availability of Air MEDEVAC and surgical teams. As we look to the future at the possibility of Large Scale Combat Operations, the BAS would likely return to its historical critical role.

The authors in the article listed below demonstrate the distribution of casualties in recent conflicts and make recommendations for updating Army BAS for future conflict. Their recommendations are:

▪️More robust capability for blood
▪️Ventilators
▪️Monitoring Capability
▪️Increased patient hold (duration)

How would you redesign the BAS to reflect the needs of future conflict?
