It stands for "Dedicated Unhesitating Service To Our Fighting Forces."The term is used in military aviation to refer to the evacuation of casualties, usually by helicopter, from the battlefield or other locations to medical facilities for treatment. The term originated during the Vietnam War and became synonymous with the U.S. Army's aeromedical evacuation missions.In Vietnam, the Dustoff missions were primarily carried out by the UH-1 Iroquois helicopter, commonly known as the "Huey." These helicopters were equipped and specially configured to accommodate the wounded and provide medical care during transport. Dustoff crews, which included pilots, medics, and crew chiefs, often flew into hostile territory to evacuate injured soldiers, risking their own lives to save others.The Dustoff missions played a crucial role in reducing the mortality rate among wounded soldiers during the Vietnam War. The dedication and bravery of Dustoff crews became legendary, and the term "Dustoff" is now used more broadly to refer to any aeromedical evacuation mission conducted by helicopter.
