All mercenary companies of any size employ medical
teams and mobile field hospitals. These are serviced by ambulances and other
medical vehicles which vary depending on the technology - and funds - available.
Many rear echelon areas (and front line ones with smaller and less well equipped companies) employ wheeled ambulance, like this example from manufacturer Caterham. This is a basic but reliable vehicle which performs its function well. To avoid being targeted (where such conventions apply or carry weight) it is clearly marked as an ambulance. Some groups do occasionally abuse this convention, however, and it is not unknown for an 'ambulance' to be armed. |
