    For the uninformed:  A Litter basket is a stretcher designed to be used where there are obstacles to movement or other hazards: for example, in confined spaces, on slopes, in wooded terrain. Typically it is shaped to accommodate an adult in a
    face up position
    and it is used in
    search and rescue
    operations. The person is strapped into the basket, making safe evacuation possible.
    They are most notably remembered from
    Korea
    and
