RAISING THE BAR WITH A CONTAINERIZED NAVAL HOSPITAL
Comprised of expandable rigid-wall containers with bright white interiors, this hospital complex is outfitted with the latest in combat medicine technology. The uniqueness of the facility is typified by its flexibility. At its core, the design is based on globally accepted shipping standards, making it easy to transport (via air, sea, truck and rail). Additionally, and equally important, it is modular and reconfigurable. The entire facility can be arranged as necessary to operate afloat within the cargo hold of Military Sealift Command Ships (MSC) or ashore.
Popularized by the 4077th M*A*S*H unit., field hospitals are not a new concept. The Capabilities-Based Medical Treatment Facility (or CB-MTF), commissioned by the United States Navy, however, is light years ahead of its early Army predecessors.
