HMMWV Ambulances: M997 and M1035
Two models of the HMMWV with a specially built ambulance body have been fielded:
- M997 Truck, Ambulance, 4-Litter, Armored, 1-1/4 Ton, 4x4 (called maxi-ambulance)
- M1035 Truck, Ambulance, 2-Litter, Soft Top, 1-1/4 Ton, 4x4
The M1035 is a low-back, soft-top, two-litter ambulance, and the M997 is a high-back, hard side, four-litter ambulance. The Ml035 can carry two litter or three ambulatory patients. The M997 can carry four litter or eight ambulatory patients. These vehicles provide mobility for emergency situations and provide a quick link between battlefield casualties and emergency services not available on the front lines of battle.
