From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Remove ads
A Mobile Trauma Bay is a containerized ambulance bay mounted on an Oshkosh Logistic Vehicle System Replacement (LVSR).[1][2] It holds state-of-the-art medical equipment and carries a Shock Trauma Platoon, generally consisting of one doctor, a nurse and three corpsmen, providing advanced resuscitative care to critically injured service members within the first hour after a traumatic injury (the "golden hour"). It takes emergency medical care far forward, saving more lives.[3][4] Over 98% of the wounded Marines who make it into the MTB, make it out alive.[5]
