Swedish & British troops in A-Stan during MedEvac exercise

[Resurrection]

An exercise involving evacuating injured soldiers with support from Swedish XA-203S APCs took place recently Mazar-e-Sharif. A part of the busiest road in the city had to be closed for it to be possible.

Not many pics as always, but I thought they were interesting nonetheless. :)

Having armored ambulances is a huge advantage and the Swedish contribution is appreciated by the British doctor at the base in Mazar-e-Sharif

Having enough personnel when dealing with wounded was one thing the Swedes learned during the exercise

Sweden's system of having routined medics on international missions is unique when compared to other foreign systems

Nice pics! I don't know who I should feel more sorry for, the yanks in the ACUs or the Swedes who havn't been issued with the new desert BDUs :P
