Sanitetsko osiguranje borbenih djelovanja brigade HV u napadu s prelaskom rijeke ; Sanitary backing of attacks of Croatian army brigade with crossing over the river

Abstract

Ovim se radom željelo istaknuti nekoliko vrlo bitnih momenata i iskustava stečenih u napadnoj operaciji brigade HV. Rezultati postignuti na zbrinjavanju ranjenika pokazali su da se tom problemu pristupilo vrlo ozbiljno i profesionalno, u čemu se ne smije zanemariti nijedan segment, od pripreme za izvođenje operacije do evidentiranja svih ranjenika, ozlijeđenih, mrtvih i nestalih. Poseban značaj ima pravilno i racionalno angažiranje organa postrojbi sanitetske službe iz formacijskog sastava postrojbe i umješno dopunjavanje sa službama i ustanovama s teritorije gdje se operacija izvodi. U sličnim operacijama posebno je izražena uloga načelnika sanitetske službe, koji svojom odlukom o rasporedu i angažiranju sanitetskih organa u postrojbi, presudno utječe na brzinu, kvalitetu i djelotvornost u zbrinjavanju ranjenika, pri čemu se treba obvezatno rukovoditi načelom da se većina najkvalitetnijih sredstava, veči broj organa sanitetskih postrojbi treba naći na glavnom pravcu napada brigade. Ova dragocjena iskustva stečena u borbi za neovisnost i slobodu, plaćena životima mladih Hrvata, trebaju biti primjer za buduće bitke i borbe ne samo naše brigade već i svih drugih brigada i ostalih postrojbi HV. ; In this paper we wanted to point out some essential items and experiences gained in an attack of the brigade of the Croatian Army. The results obtained in the care for wounded showed that this problem was dealt with very seriously and professionally. No one segment should be neglected from the preparations for an operation to the recording of all wounded, dead and missing. Particularly significant is the correct and rational engagement of the ambulance corps of the corresponding military unit and skillful cooperation with services and institutions on the territory where an action takes place. In such operations the role of the chief medical officer is very important. He influences by his decisions the distribution and engagement of the ambulance corps in the unit on speed, quality and efficacy of the care for the injured. In any case it should be adhered to the principle that the best equipment and the greatest number of members of the ambulance corps should be located at the place where the main attack is being carried out. These valuable experiences acquired in the struggle for independence and freedom and paid by lives of young Croats should be a model for future battles and struggles not only of our brigade, but also of all the other brigades and other units of the Croatian Army.
