Description
The unit has a 64-member staff personnel between military and civilians and is made up of 14 containers PictorialШаблон:Dead link which, when fully assembled, occupy an area of 360 m2. Fourteen flights of C-130 Hercules aircraft are needed to fully deploy the Hospital.[2]
Among the services provided by the Hospital are general clinic, surgery, dentistry, pharmacy, etc. The Hospital has its own laboratory, water purification plant and power generation engine.[2]
