In light of the growing trend of local armed conflicts in the world, determining the treatment and evacuation support for the wounded, sick and victims of CMTI is becoming an important task. An analysis of current scientific literature on combined mechanical-thermal injuries (CMTI) was carried out. Combined injuries are recorded at a high level in many armed conflicts. Persons with CMTI represent the most difficult category of patients in terms of treatment. Insufficient study and relevance of the CMTI issue in modern military medical practice are revealed. There is no classification and scale for assessing the severity of the CMTI condition. There is a shortage of current recommendations for the treatment and evacuation characteristics of patients with CMTI. The problem of the lack of a methodology for assessing the severity of the condition of victims with CMTI results in deficiencies in sorting such victims; it is necessary to develop a classification of CMTI, determine the treatment and evacuation characteristics of victims with CMTI.
