Once on location, the team can set up to operate within 15 minutes of arrival. In the past, you had to (forward) deploy an entire 25-bed air transportable hospital, said Lt. Col. (Dr.) Tyler Harris, a 379th Expeditionary Medical Group orthopedic surgeon. That meant flying in more than 60 pallets of equipment, which took three C-17 Globemaster III transports. That was a slow process, the doctor said.
But the MFST can be delivered on a single pallet in 24 to 48 hours, he said.
