Introduction: Blood transfusions are common during combat casualty care, aiming to address the loss of blood volume that often accompanies severe battlefield injuries. This scoping review delves into the existing military combat casualty data to analyze the efficacy, challenges, and advances in the use of massive and super-massive transfusions in the management of critically injured warfighters.

Materials And Methods: We performed a scoping review of combat-related literature published between 2006 and 2023 pertaining to massive transfusions used during combat deployments.
