The present invention relates to a military stretcher system (100). The system (100) includes a military hand-carried stretcher (102). An adaptor (104) is provided for adapting the stretcher (102) to fasten to a military transportation stretcher holder (106), typically used on vessels and in vehicles and in aircraft. Advantageously, the adaptor (104) may adapt the stretcher (102) to fasten to the holder (106) (e.g. a racking system) conventionally used to hold a known NATO type stretcher.
