Exercise Steadfast Dart marks the first major deployment of Nato’s Allied Reaction Force as they test their ability to scramble their capabilities across sea, air and land in Romania.
The exercise focuses on the role of combat medics, who are training to treat wounded personnel in the field rather than sending them home.
Lance Corporal Adam Peete-Harrison of 3 Medical Regiment described the importance of the Ridgeback armoured ambulance, which plays a key role in frontline casualty evacuation.
"We’d look to punch out, collect a patient from a non-permissive environment, hence all the armour, and pull them back to a safer sort of semi-permissive environment," said the NCO.
