Mobility and protection in terms of casualty care at the front will be elevated to a higher level as soon as the first units are equipped with the systems now ordered from Rheinmetall. The mobile Rheinmetall systems for medical services are designed to enable better emergency surgical and intensive medical care for severely injured soldiers near the front lines. Each medical facility consists of eleven vehicles with associated multifunctional containers, which remain on the transport system during operation. The first facility is scheduled for delivery in 2029, as already mentioned. The systems are intended, among other things, for the German brigade in Lithuania, a Rheinmetall spokesman notes. In terms of mobility and protection, no comparable system is currently available within NATO. Rheinmetall already concluded a framework agreement on the delivery with the Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support in September, as is further stated.
