           a. Commander's intent. Medical success on this battlefield
       hinges upon the rapid collection and evacuation of casualties.

       resuscitation will occur at treatment areas forward a+ the F08s.
       My goal is to provide the greatest good +or the greatest number
       rather then definitive care +or only a few. All medical units
       must remain in sector to provide centralized casualty collection
       and evacuation as long as tactically feasible. Corps air and
       ground ambulances must provide evacuation from our facilities to
       allow us to effectively clear the covering force area.
