Aeromedical Evacuation transfers occur between which facilities?

Aeromedical Evacuation transfers are between Military Treatment Facilities. In the military system, AE is used to move patients by air for rapid access to higher or definitive care within the DoD network, often from a forward or field setting to a larger or more specialized Military Treatment Facility, or between military facilities as part of ongoing care. This keeps patient care coordinated within the military medical system and uses dedicated aeromedical teams and equipment. Transfer to civilian community clinics, private hospitals, or home care is not the standard AE path within this system unless there are specific, separate joint arrangements, so those options don’t fit the typical AE framework.
