that being said, at least American forces taught that the combat commander

had the authority to override the medical commander and order full

camouflage of field medical facilities, including ambulances and medics.

and in the Pacific Theater, Korea and VN, the field medics often 'lost'

their Red Cross brassards during field ops, as those OPFORs were known to

target folks wearing the brassards, as well as obvious leaders and radio men.

(and this was in conflicts with countries which *were* signatories of the

patrol car with a uniformed officer in it, running radar or writing a

MVA with two ambulances, four fire apparatus, four police cars, and a

helicopter on scene, and call 911 to report the wreck. Just as bad are

abandoned

vehicles parked on a shoulder, with a week's worth of red stickers on the
