           TO 1ID(M) OPORD SCORPION DANGER

                      (c)       DUSTOFF helicopters will evacuate URGENT
           casualties from each FSE. DUSTOFF can occur at the BAS or AXP
           between the BAS and FSE if the tactical situation allows and the
           pick-up location is out of direct or indirect artillery range.
           That determination will be made by the Officer in Charge at the
           BAS or AXP. The standard 9-line MEDEVAC request will be utilized
           to request aeromedical evacuation (see TAB B, MEDEVAC REQUEST).
           Sufficient aircraft will be positioned forward to cover the air
           evacuation mission. 1022nd Medical Company (AA) will provide
           aeromedical evacuation support for Ist Brigade, and 507th Medical
           Company (AA) will provide evacuation support for 2nd and 3rd
           Brigade. A TOC from 1022 Medical Company (AA) will co-locate with
           128 CSH. A TOC from 507 Medical Company (AA) will co-locate with
           31st CSH. Be prepared to pre-position aircraft at PL VERMONT ASP
           to facilitate MEDEVAC communications. Subsequently, aircraft will
           pre-position at FSES. British LNO will c:o-locates with each a+
           the Air Ambulance TOCs to provide coordination for employment of
           Puma helicopters for MEDEVAC support.

                      (d) ES) Maneuver battalions must be prepared to
           extract casualties from within the lanes during breaching
           operations. Limiting factors to consider during this period
           include possible hostile fire precluding aeromedical evacuation
           and narrow traffic lanes requiring extraction of vehicles +ram
          .lanes to facilitate ground evacuation. Maneuver battalions must
           develop a detailed plan to properly utilize medical assets to
es. Casualties occurring during the
           breaching operation will be evacuated by FSE medical company
           tracked ambulances pre-sited at the maneuver battalion aid
           -stations (BAS) to AXPs located at the south exit of Breach Lanes
           Alpha and Papa (see TAB C Evacuation of Casualties during Breach
           Operations, South).

                      (e)       First AD (UK) casualties occurring below PL
           Vermont will be taken by organic evacuation assets to the 32nd or
           22nd Field Hospitals (UK). Casualties during the transition of the
           breach will be brought forward to lst ID treatment tracks (M577s)
           stationed 400 meters north of lanes D/E (ist Bdo) and L/M (3d
           Bde). Treatment tracks will utilize medical operations not with
           appropriate suffix identifier. Casualties will be al-rc)medically
           evacuated to supporting CSH.

                      (f)       British LNOs will be stationed in each
           location and will have linked up with the appropriate medical FSE
           at the initial FSB location in the FAA. Until the lst AD (UK)
           clears PL NEW JERSEY, all casualties will be passed through the
           US medical system entering it at the BAS or AXPs of the maneuver
           battalion in their sector. BDE medical companies must provide
           IAD (UK) with grid coordinates of BAS and medical company AXPs in
           their sector. Ist AD (UK) will a@sume complete responsibility
           for evacuation and management of British casualties when its
