Oh for sure they'll have all sorts of application but they can already do that one well with parachutes and some special forces even deploy with mountain bikes.

Evacuating casualties though keeps you from having to land a 6 million dollar medevac black hawk with a crew of 4 and support like 1 or more Apache (36 million) and/or Kiowa (5 million) as support gunships.
Depending on the condition of the casualty you could send it in alone or with 1 medic on it. Depending on the distance you could just have it drop in, have the person loaded on and have it hop a short distance out to where a medic is waiting with a more traditional medevac.
You aren't likely to get one of these carrying more than a couple of people due to range and battery weight so primary usage I see is for medevac.
