Battlefield medicine
Battlefield medicine treats combatants near combat and advances civilian care.
Treating wounded soldiers and civilians near the front lines is the core of battlefield medicine, also called field surgery or combat casualty care. Many civilian medical breakthroughs originated from techniques developed for war wounds. Thanks to modern procedures and technology, even severe multiple injuries can now be survived in contemporary conflicts.
