"The intra-Atoll evacuation system will be by Army helicopter. Evacuation from the atoll will
be by military aircraft using standard USAF aero-medical evacuation
procedure. Patients requiring more than seven days of bed care beyond
the capability of medical resources will be aero-medically evacuated.
Aero-medical evacuation of U.S. Armed Forces patients will be provided
on a nonreimburseable basis; however, existing contracts with civilian
contractors will determine aero-medical evacuation reimbursement. The
aero-medical evacuation of dri-Enewetak beyond care of the medical team
capability will be provided, on a reimburseable basis, upon the receipt
of a request from the resident ‘Trust Territories of the Pacific Islands
(TTPI) representative to the Joint Task Group Commander." —
b. The decision to evacuate military or civilian personnel for
medical purposes rests with Commander, Joint Task Group with recommendations from the surgeon and Commander or manager of the individual
concerned.
