254 Medical Regiment, Royal Army Medical Corps, is a regiment in the Territorial Army in the United Kingdom. It is within the Army Medical Services (AMS) and primarily recruits from East Anglia. The Regiment's role is to train and provide officers and soldiers to support the Regular Army at home and abroad on military operations. The Regiment recruits doctors, nurses, medics, drivers, vehicle mechanics, chefs and military clerks from all walks of life and trains all individuals to the high standards required by the Army. All members of the Regiment are paid at the same daily rates of pay as their Regular counterparts for each day (or part day) of training that they receive and are also eligible for a tax free lump sum, known as a "Bounty", on completion of all training requirements at the end of each training year. Members of the Regiment have served on operations in Iraq, Bosnia, Cyprus and Afghanistan (where members continue to serve today) alongside their Regular counterparts, providing medical care to troops and civilians alike. The Regiment is also prepared to provide personnel in support of UK Operations, such as disaster relief, community relations and the 2012 Olympics. The Regiment has sub-units at the following locations: 163 - HQ Squadron and (RHQ ) - Cambridge 160 Squadron - Norwich 161 Squadron - Colchester 162 Squadron - Hitchin (220 Medical Squadron - Maidstone ) == History == The regiment was formed in 1983 and was named 254 Field Ambulance. It was first based at the Territorial Army Centre in Coldhams Lane, Cambridge. The regiment was later moved to a new site, formally a transport company depot, on Cherry Hinton Road, Cambridge, where a new TA Centre was built to accommodate them. In the early 1990s detachments were opened in Thetford and Letchworth. The detachment in Thetford was disbanded a short while later, while the detachment at Letchworth remained until 1998. In 1995, following the amalgamation of 257 General Hospital into 256 Field Hospital, 257's Norwich detachment was transferred to 254. Soon after this the regiment was adopted by Cambridge, and became 254 (City of Cambridge) Field Ambulance. In 1999 a new detachment was opened in Hitchin, Hertfordshire to recruit from the North Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire areas. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「254 Medical Regiment」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
