The Department of Defense estimates that approximately 24 percent of all service members who die in combat could have survived if improved and more timely medical care could be made available in the combat setting. To reduce the combat mortality rate as well as the impact of the disabling medical conditions that service members suffer as a result of combat wounds, multiple DOD organizations conduct medical research to develop medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and new methods or processes that are designed to improve combat casualty care.
