AB In  austere  circumstances,  a  functioning  emergency  medical  system  (EMS)  may  not  exist  or  an  existing  system  may  not  function  as  it  should.  In  these  circumstances,  you  may  not  be  able  to  reach  patients  or  they  may  not  be  able  to  get  to  you  using  normal  methods  (e.g.,  the  roads  are  impassible).  This  chapter  discusses  improvised  methods  to  transport  patients  or  medical  personnel.
