Combat Support Hospitals (CSH), several shown here in containerized sets, can provide hospitalization and outpatient services for as many as 248 patients. Scalable in size and function to the mission they are deployed for, once assembled the complete hospital includes a headquarters and headquarters detachment, and two completely functional hospital companies: one 84-bed and one 164-bed. A full hospital has four wards providing intensive nursing care for up to 48 patients and 10 wards providing intermediate nursing care for up to 200 patients. (U.S. Army Pacific photo)
