Current asymmetric operations impose very different demands on medical teams from conventional war. In theatres such as Afghanistan, forces are much more dispersed, with patrols operating sometimes many kilometres from their base. Often the local operations room will have to control numerous patrols deployed at the same time. In order to provide an effective CASEVAC system, patrols are frequently constrained to the distance which can be reached by a helicopter in less than one hour. Patrols and small convoys normally include a CASEVAC vehicle, which must be as well protected as the other vehicles in the formation and which must possess sufficient mobility to facilitate the extraction of casualties, often under fire. Iveco Defence Vehicles has built on the remarkable commercial and operational success of its Light Multirole Vehicle (LMV) to develop a CASEVAC variant which will meet this demanding requirement. Currently deployed in Afghanistan by four different nations, LMV is well regarded by its users, and its high levels of protection and mobility have already saved numerous lives. The Italian and the Spanish Army have already taken delivery of a number of these LMV CASEVAC vehicles.
