Denmark’s Ministry of Defence has awarded Rheinmetall a “mid double-digit million euro” contract for the delivery of mobile field medical facilities.
The order covers five portable hubs, three of which are configured for basic hospital roles (Role 2B) and the remaining for enhanced function (Role 2E).
Copenhagen’s package includes power generators, water and oxygen supplies, as well as sanitary stations.
The German company noted that the mobile hospitals can resist harsh conditions and rigorous transport, with standards in accordance with the existing capabilities of the Danish Medical Service.
The Role 2B and Role 2E Medical Hubs
Rheinmetall’s Role 2B tactical hospital is a fully containerized structure mounted on a military truck.
The capability includes a tent-based forward module that can deploy as a standalone unit or connect with other facilities.
The hub is designed with diagnostic and surgical capabilities, enabling quick medical response for traumatic injuries near warzones.
Meanwhile, the Role 2E hospital features twice the 2B’s capacity and intensive care space in addition to tomography, laboratory, pharmacy, and dental treatment divisions.
“We are delighted to have been awarded this contract by a major NATO partner,” said Armin Krenn, managing director at Rheinmetall Mobile Systeme.
“The collaboration with the Danish procurement agency and the end-users has been extremely professional, cooperative, and goal-oriented from the outset. Together, we have been able to develop high-performance, mission-oriented solutions.”
