Abstract

This article, dealing with the French approach of the medical cares delivered to the morituri soldiers on operation theatres, is split in two parts:The first part is quite theoretical, explaining what is the French military medical approach for the cares delivered to the morituri soldiers. To go further, the “Val-de-Grâce” academy pedagogic referential for this subject is exposed: it represents what the young military doctors learn before being deployed on operation theatres.In a mirror image, the second part is a practical implementation, drawn from the Afghan experience. In Kapisa, on the 4th of September 2009, an IED attack on a French convoy resulted in several wounded and dead soldiers. The first medical doctor on place explains how he took care of the victims of this complex attack, in accordance with the French concept previously exposed.
