Better Medical Care for the wounded.
The Lockheed C-141 Starlifter was never really a great airlift platform, Sandrat. Though the old bird has proven to be a superb Aero-med platform. Fully tricked out, the C-141 can support a Galley/Latrine Comfort Pallet. Plus a medical staff of twelve or more. While stanchioned Center and Side litters can faciliate up to 104 litters and patients.
The C-17's ceiling to far too tall for the solid lockdown of stanchions. And, no matter the height, the stanchions can still only support four litters per side or eight per bay. The major advantages of the C-17 over the C-141 is its width, space and larger total number of aircraft.
Either platform offer "The Best Care... Anywhere!"
