Tactical phase describes airlift of patients from points within combat zone to treatment outside combat zone.

The tactical phase focuses on moving casualties from points inside the combat zone to a treatment facility outside that zone. This stage serves as the bridge between immediate battlefield care and more definitive care located beyond the front lines. The described scenario—airlifting patients from within the combat zone to a treatment facility outside it—fits this stage exactly because it transitions care from the point of injury toward higher-level treatment beyond the immediate battlefield. If you visualize the sequence, the forward phase would be within the battlefield aiming to reach a forward medical facility, the strategic phase covers long-distance transport to distant definitive care (often overseas or to a different theater), and the domestic phase involves evacuation within the same country.
