Military medical revolution: prehospital combat casualty care.

چکیده
Military Revolutions Murray and Knox equated military revolutions to ‘‘earthquakes.’’ These earthquakes forced a fundamental change in society and a state, and the state consequently altered the way it created and projected military power. Murray and Knox recognize five major military revolutions that have had that impact on Western history: the 17th century creation of the modern state and modern military institutions; the French Revolution; the Industrial Revolution; World War I; and, most recently, nuclear weapons and ballistic missile delivery systems. This concept of military revolutions has also carried into the field of military medicine.
