Inadequate involvement by brigade and battalion commanders and lack of comprehensive staff planning resulted in an overall lack of detailed planning at all echelons.
CASEVAC planning was a low-priority task; when a large number of casualties did occur, CASEVAC was conducted as a contingency operation rather than a carefully planned part of the mission.
