Military equipment has to change with circumstances. In Afghanistan, the troops discovered that when the Medevac helicopter was a US Blackhawk, the issue pole stretcher was too long to fit into the cabin. Consequently the handy and ubiquitous stretcher was replaced by one that folds in the middle for transport.

Thanks for the input guys.

I gather there is not a lot of info about stretchers, even though they saw a lot of use. Same is true for e.g. tentage.

The stretchers do show up in photos of ambulance jeeps for example, and in this interior view of a CMP ambulance.

Any more info is of help!
