On Joint Base Andrews and in the National Capital Region, the Aeromedical Staging Facility staff uses white ambulance buses to transport injured and ill service members to and from the flightline and the hospital. The AMBUSs are outfitted with lights and sirens designed to facilitate their movement through traffic to reach their destinations by alerting the public that they need to pass, but lately we have experienced problems with individual drivers not yielding to the AMBUSs. ALL cars are required to pull over to the side of the road, stop, and wait for the vehicles to pass before resuming normal driving, unless doing so would cause an accident or if stopped at a red light/stop sign. Combat troops typically arrive here within 72 hours of suffering a severe battlefield injury -- a vast improvement over past conflicts. The 779th Medical Wing Aeromedical Staging Facility is the first stop on American soil for Wounded Warriors as they transit from CENTCOM Theater of operation to their next treatment facility or home in the U.S.
