| Truck, Ambulance, 1¼ Ton, 4x4, M1010
The M1010 truck, ambulance, is a diesel-powered vehicle equipped with
power steering and brakes and automatic transmission.
It can accommodate up to four litter or eight ambulatory patients, or a
combination of each.
The vehicle has a patient assist boom, and block and tackle for
loading. An improved patient life support capability is provided by four
additional focus-type lights, air conditioning, optional GPFU for NBC
protection, and supplemental electrical power to operate the life support
equipment. The M1010 also has additional storage space between the litter
berths and vehicle cab.
The loading sequence is:
- Upper right
- Lower right
- Upper left
- Lower left
In an emergency or mass casualty situation, one additional litter can
be placed in the center aisle.
The most seriously injured is always the last to be loaded and the
first to be unloaded. This means that when you open the back, the most
seriously injured will always be in the lower left rack. |
