What is "medevacs"

Usage examples of "medevacs".

Sometimes to resupply the hills leading to Khe Sanh, we would actually slide over the side of the mountain and just start sliding up through the fog, trying to get up to the top of the mountain to the outposts to resupply them and then, in turn, pick up medevacs and slide back down the side of the mountain till we had visual flight again.

When we would hover down into a resupply and pull out medevacs, our crews would literally clear the tail room down a little tiny slot and we would have to sometimes chop away pieces of tree with the rotor blades.

They were Huey medevacs and they looked beautiful to Paxton as they came in.
