In the war, both armies researched advancement in the
development of battlefield recovery techniques. In the Union, a new medicinal
wing was created under the jurisdiction of a “Medical Director of the Army”,
the first field hospitals, small tents with a few tables or beds for the
wounded, were developed, and a system of transport of the wounded to general
hospitals was created, the first wooden ambulances which could hold at max
around 4 wounded laying down, 1 or 2 medical officials, and a driver for the horses.
The Confederacy advanced mainly off of learning from Union camps they overtook,
but generally had a less established medical service largely as a result of its
more limited resources, vast rural areas, limited medicinal knowledge, and a
much lesser amount of medical professionals available. The single most seen
battle injury were simple flesh wounds that led to amputations of limbs due to
lack of proper techniques in removing lodged bullets. Both of the armies used
similar techniques in amputation – quickly drugging the soldier and removing
the limb which was generally affected by the wound, or could be infected
easily, effectively using skin from the extracted limb to cover the stub.
