As the war in Ukraine kills and injures tens of thousands, European countries are getting more serious about medical training and ensuring the care is standardized across NATO nations.
In a large-scale ground war in Eastern Europe, casualties could be, for example, transferred from a Danish Stryker ambulance to a Hungarian ambulance and then to a Lithuanian and Spanish joint field hospital, as they were in a recent European exercise. So, it’s key the medical standards are the same as patients are transferred, said Maj. Dylan Bryant, with the 140th Medical Group, who attended a recent Fort Carson training and the European exercise.
