The U.S. Army's medical evacuation vehicle (MEV) is assigned from the Battalion Aid Station for Battalion-sized units, and dedicated to each of the company-sized elements of the unit and provide treatment for serious injury and advanced trauma cases.

Integrated medical evacuation support in the SBCT (Stryker Brigade Combat Team), as an integrated part of the internetted combat forward formation, helps the organic medic who accompanies the infantry soldier during dismounted operations.

This capability keeps the other platforms of the formation free to sustain the integrated support of the assault.

The commonality of the platforms reduces the maintenance footprint and variety of logistics support.

The ambulance is marked with Geneva Convention insignia that can be removed or masked without altering the camouflage pattern.
