    AbstractIndian Army has two service stretchers, the Stretcher Folding Light Weight and the Ambulance Stretcher Mark II. Few Imported stretchers have limited distribution. Units also improvise stretchers. Troops deployed in the forward areas deserve better stretchers to facilitate casualty evacuation especially in mountains. Modern stretchers suitable for the Indian Armed Forces have been described. If provisioned, they will improve the efficacy of combat survival, and combat medical support in the field, especially in mountains.
