A MASH (Mobile Army Surgical Hospital) unit is a mobile medical facility used by the military to provide emergency surgical care close to combat zones. Designed to be transportable, it includes operating rooms, recovery areas, and medical staff who quickly treat soldiers with serious injuries. MASH units are essential for saving lives when immediate medical attention is required and regular hospitals are far away. They are equipped to handle trauma and stabilize patients before they can be moved to larger hospitals for further care.
