FORT DETRICK, Md., June 16, 2004 -- A telemedicine test bed here welcomed a new, green neighbor May 25 when a boxy prototype of the Army's Future Medical Shelter System arrived from Tennessee.
Encased in a standard shipping container, the 8-foot by 8-foot by 20-foot shelter essentially is a new operating room in a box for a combat support hospital that can be ready for patients in as little as a half hour, said Steve Reichard, program manager for the shelter at the U.S. Army Medical Materiel Development Activity here.
