Strategic phase describes airlift for patients from overseas back to CONUS.

In patient movement, the strategic phase covers long-distance, cross-border evacuation, moving patients from an overseas theater back to CONUS for definitive care. This description fits because it describes transporting patients over large distances from overseas back to the continental United States, typically using strategic airlift assets for the final or definitive stage of care. The other scenarios describe movements not aligned with long-distance, intertheater transport: evacuating within the battlefield to an initial treatment facility is a tactical movement focused on immediate care nearby; moving from within a combat zone to a treatment facility outside that zone is also an in-theater operation, not the overseas-to-CONUS strategic leg; transporting patients domestically is intra-national rather than intertheater long-range evacuation.
