| Designer Notes |
| Mobile Army Surgical Hospitals (MASH) have been around for many centuries. They are generally assigned to the regimental level, though units engaged in long and difficult campaigns have been known to bring more MASHs with them. Although most designs are made of modular structures that are brought by trucks and assembled near the front, few truly mobile MASH desgins have been developed by the military. Casualty Evacutation (Cas-Evac) vehicles, both on the ground and in the air, are used to bring patients back. The Nightingale is a typical example of one such vehicle. It is a cross between an armored ambulance and a full-fledged surgical center. Because it places the emphasis on mobility, it can care for only a few patients at a time and then only for a short period. The steel/composite armor ensures the safety of the wounded should the Nightingale find itself under fire. As a medical vehicle, the Nightingale is rarely, if ever, equipped with weapons. |
