In light of a rising number of military vehicle accidents being incurred in the WOT and subsequent number of service members injured and in some cases killed an idea was posed to me that it may be an idea to go over some of the protocols and civilian Fire/EMS related skill sets as they pertain directly to MVA’s.

Some of the items covered would include, but not be limited to: windshield survey and initial manpower considerations, scene safety, vehicle stabilization, HAZMAT considerations, patient extrication and immobilization, MOI and injuries common to various types of accidents, on scene care, stabilization and transportation considerations of patients involved in motor-vehicle accidents.

I would be more than happy to cover this if there are those of you who would be interested in discussing it. I understand this is primarily a SF forum and the likelihood of an 18-D responding to MVA’s is not great but I thought I would throw it out there.
