In the START system, which tag identifies walking patients who are not evacuated until all immediate and delayed patients are evacuated?

In the START (Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment) system, green tags are designated for patients who are classified as walking wounded. These individuals are typically conscious, responsive, and capable of moving independently. In a triage scenario, the green tag signifies that these patients do not require immediate medical attention and can wait until all more severely injured patients, categorized as immediate (red) or delayed (yellow), have been evacuated.

The green tag helps responders efficiently prioritize care and resource allocation, ensuring those with life-threatening conditions receive attention first. This approach maximizes the number of survivors in mass casualty incidents by ensuring that those who are stable and capable of self-evacuating are not taken away from critical resources needed for more severely injured individuals.
