Reuters quoted German General Alexander Solfrank, head of NATO’s logistics command, as saying: NATO He said that the alliance plans to move a large number of wounded soldiers away from the front lines in the event of a war with Russia.
Solfrank explained that the transfer would probably take place on trains equipped as hospitals because air evacuations might not be possible.
He added that the likely future scenario for medical evacuation operations would differ from the experience that NATO members had gone through in Afghanistan And Iraq.
The German general added that in the event of a conflict with Russia, Western armies would likely face a much larger war zone, more casualties and at least a temporary lack of air superiority near the front lines.
The medical evacuation plans are part of a broader campaign by NATO It was sparked by the Russia-Ukraine war in 2022 and aims to reform and enhance the alliance’s ability to deter and defend against any Russian attack.
