You may use a poncho, or a jacket, but it is advised to always have 2 rigid poles. However, if these are unavailable due to mission requirements, then you may use a poncho, and carry the casualty that way.

Improvised Litters There are times when a standard litter is not available. Distances may be too great for manual carries.

Improvised Litters Litters can be improvised from materials at hand Must be well-constructed.
