Rheinmetall supplies fourth mobile rescue station and training to Ukraine

Rheinmetall is supplying a fourth mobile rescue station (Role 2 type) to Ukraine and has trained Ukrainian service personnel at the Rheinmetall Mobile Systeme site in Meckenbeuren, the company announced on 11 July 2025.

The modular system consists of three truck-trailers, each of which is equipped with two container modules that have extendable elements. When assembled, these extensions form a functional medical treatment centre with various areas including an operating theatre, an intensive care unit and areas for triage, emergency care and X-rays.

The mobile rescue station was designed to be relocated and made ready for operation within a very short time, even in difficult terrain and weather conditions. As well as offering protection and medical facilities close to the front line, its 20 ft ISO containers also allow it to be easily integrated into logistics and command structures.

Mobile field hospitals are of utmost importance to the Ukrainian armed forces in order to provide quick and professional treatment to wounded soldiers.

“The Ukrainian soldiers participated in the training in a highly professional and committed manner,” Armin Krenn, CEO of Rheinmetall Mobile Systeme, was quoted as saying in a company press release “Especially under the current operational conditions, safe handling of the systems and of the medical equipment is crucial for saving lives on the front line,” he added.

The training of Ukrainian personnel focused both on operating the mobile infrastructure as well as on the medical and technical equipment inside the containers. This includes ventilators, X-ray machines, monitoring equipment and important surgical instruments. Procedures for rapid commissioning, patient care and co-operation between treatment teams were also taught.

Further deliveries of medical facilities and training courses have been ordered and will be implemented by the end of 2026.
