Medical Station Boasts Small Arms Protection

By Robert H. Williams

German army troops are receiving 30 medical treatment centers that are housed in 20-foot, air-conditioned shelters. Officials say the units, called TransHospitals, can be operated autonomously for up to three days.

They are designed for use in combat and can ward off ballistic fire.

Additionally, they can be moved about either by air or ground transport.

Fabricated by EADS Defence & Security of Friedrichshafen, Germany, the shelters are equipped with their own water and power supply.
