Rescue operations using vertical access equipment demand precise rigging, robust hauling systems, and the strategic use of artificial high directionals to safely recover casualties from challenging environments. Whether navigating the fragmented terrain of mountainous regions, the confined and unstable platforms of maritime operations, or the complex multi-level structures of urban settings, each environment presents unique demands on equipment and technique. Stretcher extractions must be carefully managed to maintain casualty stability while adapting to restricted spaces, limited anchor options, and variable surface conditions.
Equipment must be lightweight, durable, and modular—capable of rapid deployment and integration under pressure—ensuring that rescuers can operate effectively, even in low- to no-light conditions. Regardless of terrain, the success of vertical rescue hinges on planning, adaptability, and the reliability of the system’s components.
Stretchers
Stretchers are vital for casualty evacuation in military operations, enabling safe extraction across challenging environments like mountains, urban areas, and maritime platforms. They must be lightweight, compact, and rapidly deployable, with features such as integrated lifting points, durable materials, and secure casualty restraints. Designed to function in confined spaces, steep terrain, or rope-based rescues, stretchers must integrate with broader systems and adapt to mission-specific needs for reliable performance under pressure.
