Extract
The efficiency of EMS, especially resuscitation of the severely wounded, depends upon speed and skills. This requires well-organized military-civilian collaboration, as shown during recent earthquakes in Ashkhabad and Tashkent. Reasons include the great mobility of military medical units, including field hospitals; communication facilities; specialized means of transportation; readiness of equipment and supplies; as well as skillled military medical personnel.
