      stated that they did not know when patients left the evacuation
      hospital enroute to them nor were they aware of an expected arrival
      time. To a layman like me - that seems to be inefficient.

               (2)    At approximately 0930 I went into the clearing tent
      and saw an individual being cared for by the clearing platoon
      personnel. The individual had a back problem with possible slipped
      disc.

                      -This individual was brought in on a medevac chopper.

                      - At no time were the clearing platoon personnel
      notif ied that  a medevac aircraft was inbound with an injured
      individual.

                      -An individual standing outside noticed an aircraft
      running with a  medevac emblem on it and thought he should check.

                      -Note, this was after two live patients had been
      regulated and   evacuated out of the clearing platoon.    These two
      came in by aircraft and everyone seemed to know what was going on.

                      - The aircraft in the second incident shut down in the
      medevac drop-off point. This has to be designated a running pad
      for drop-off and pickup only.

               (3) At 1040 hours two additional vehicles pulled up to the
      MASF with actual injuries. These individuals had been evacuated
      from the 86th EVAC hospital.      There were 8 ambulatory and two
      litter patients. Note, one of the ambulatory was in bad condition
      and classified 2B - a litter patient.

                      The first vehicle in had the litter patients on it.
      However neither the driver nor the assistant had any paper-work to
      process these individuals.

                      - The driver from another vehicle came over after
      approximately 8 minutes to say that he had all the paper-work.

                      - There were no litter straps provided for the
      patients. They were basically tied down with elastic wrappings.

 When asked why they did not have straps, they stated
      that the 86th EVAC would not give them the equipment. When asked
      who would not give them the straps, the ambulance personnel stated
      SGT Owens said he could not get supplies.

                      - The second vehicle had what was thought to be eight
      ambulatory patients. However, review of 602's indicated that one
      individual was classified as a litter patient and should have been
      put on a litter.

                      - Air Force personnel then requested the appropriate
      supplies that were to accompany a litter patient.          This was
