During Operation Iraqi Freedom 11 from March to September of 2004, the patient evacuation team (PET) of the l% Marine Expeditionary Force recorded 1133 missions during the evacuation of2010 casualties. They recorded Total Mission Time and other key characteristics of the missions such as the evacuation category of the casualties and the amount of flight time it took to evacuate the casualty to the next echelon of care. The average mission involved 1.77 casualties. The average Urgent flight tookjust 39 minutes; however, the Total Mission Time was over one and one half hours. Several predictor (independent) variables were used in attempt to explain the total amount of time that it took to complete the mission. This model explained 46% (R2 = .459) of the Total Mission Time. The model produced a regression equation, F (10, 1122) = 95.38.
