MILITARY AMBULANCES

Oshkosh Defense, a division of Oshkosh Corporation, will provide the U.S. Armed Forces with the first MRAP All-Terrain Vehicle tactical ambulances, giving military medics new capabilities for reaching injured military personnel in otherwise inaccessible battlefield environments.

The addition of this vehicle to the U.S. services’ fleets will allow the military to provide urgent medical care in landscapes that are too rugged for other tactical ambulances. This vehicle expands the military’s M-ATV family of vehicles currently protecting troops and supporting operations in Afghanistan.

Oshkosh product-design teams worked closely with the U.S. Army Medical Department on the M-ATV tactical ambulance’s design and interior layout. The vehicle can transport two litter patients in a side-by-side layout, and can be configured to carry up to four ambulatory patients. It will be equipped with military-grade ambulance equipment needed to care for patients, including oxygen concentrators, on-board power for medical equipment and IV stabilization equipment.

Based on the M-ATV platform, the new tactical ambulance variant delivers the same proven mobility and MRAP-level protection for reaching military members in the field and transporting them safely back to medical facilities.
