An official U.S. Army report, based on IDF data, calls for adopting Israeli methods in combat medicine. The report, titled "Israeli Defense Force Medical Lessons Learned" and spanning 78 pages, reveals that combat medicine developed by the IDF has reduced mortality rates among soldiers wounded in combat by more than half, while also cutting the time to advanced treatment to four minutes. The U.S. Army warns that Israel had to make painful adjustments during combat, but Americans now have the opportunity to learn from this experience in advance. "The time to prepare is now," the report states, emphasizing that clinical and tactical knowledge alone is insufficient. The authors recommend also studying evacuation systems, medical data collection, preventive medicine, and the ability to continue providing advanced care under high-intensity combat conditions. The report is based on IDF data and an official U.S. Army document, as published by Fox News.
