Learning from Ukraine's Harsh War: Insights for US Medics.

A new report by the Global Surgical and Medical Support Group, which has worked in Ukraine since the beginning of the war, warns that the US military’s medical community needs to prepare for wars defined by artillery, not the homemade bombs seen in Afghanistan. The report describes the experience of frontline Ukrainian special forces surgeons and suggests that US medics must learn from Ukraine’s harsher war, including how to treat casualties amid ever-more-accurate artillery strikes, how to deal with electronic jamming, and how to ward off attacks on medical vehicles.
