Once the commander has established the basic tactical CONOP, determine the casualty estimate and select appropriate
locations for primary and alternate CCPs as well as evacuation HLZs/CEPs. Identify personnel designated to perform aid &
litter team duties on target. Confirm the JOC/TOC battle captain/NCO understands the procedures for requesting external
evacuation support and notification of receiving medical facilities of inbound casualties. SECTION 7
Develop the casualty response CONOP based on all information gathered. Modify the one-slide casualty response CONOP
and ensure it is integrated into the unit CONOP. Disseminate all information to subordinate Medics and unit personnel.
Brief the casualty response plan in the unit brief and send the medical CONOP to higher HQ as required. When feasible
and approved within OPSEC guidelines, notify receiving medical facilities and evacuation assets of the upcoming mission.
Conduct pre-combat inspections of individual Rangers, Medic aid bags, squad ARFR kits, aid & litter team equipment,
CASEVAC platform medical equipment, and re-supply packages.
Postmission, ensure that all medical supplies and equipment is refit and restocked. Conduct postmission screening of all
assault force members for unreported injuries. Follow-up with receiving facilities on status of any casualties evacuated.
Provide an update to the commander on casualty status. Conduct an AAR of the mission to identify any lessons learned
and/or modifications to future CONOP plans. Additionally, a casualty after-action review/report will be submitted on each
Ranger/MWD casualty within 72 hours post mission.
