 Bus ambulances are best suited for moving
larger numbers of casualties over improved roads for relatively short
distances.
These bus ambulances are configured in a number of ways, but all can
hold large numbers of litter and ambulatory patients.
Litters are supported from the ceiling, sides and floor of the bus.
 Loading is normally from the front of the bus to the rear, and from the
top rack to the bottom.
Patients are normally positioned with their heads toward the front of
the bus, but sometimes the nature of their injuries will cause you to
change the normal positioning.
Unloading is in reverse order: from the bottom to the top and from the
rear toward the front of the bus.
Approved for public release; Distribution is unlimited.
