Abstract
Operation BUCKTAIL is the UK contribution to migrant surveillance and reconnaissance in the Aegean Sea. This paper describes
two different and novel medical configurations which deployed in early 2016 to this Area of Operations (AO). Casualties
in this situation would be treated under the Convention of Safety Of Life At Sea, a humanitarian role which may be less familiar
to some of the Defence Medical Services. Casualty management is discussed and the composition of medical teams examined.
