- Conflict, CASEVAC, and the Golden Hour in the Age of Persistent Surveillance
This article examines Western battlefield casualty evacuation (CASEVAC) doctrine and the 'golden hour' concept in modern military medicine, discussing how assumptions from the Global War on Terror shape current practices. It addresses the psychological impacts of battlefield injuries on soldiers and traces the origins of the golden hour principle to civilian trauma medicine in 1975.
