Norwegian MEDEVAC Copter – No Red Crosses
The Norwegian Aeromedical Detachment force provide MEDEVAC support under NATO’s management of MEDEVAC and medical services in Afghanistan.
This photo from a 3 minute video filmed in April 2012 about Norwegian MEDEVAC missions shows that if the Norwegian helicopter has external markings all it is simply “ISAF” on its side doors. Some fly without even that marking.
This video filmed in May 2011 shows that the Norwegian MEDEVAC helicopters fly without the large Red Cross markings required by the U.S. Army on its MEDEVAC helicopters.
The Norwegian armored ambulance does have Red Crosses, but very inconspicuously displayed:
By contrast U.S. Army helicopters are marked like this:
Here is a U.S. Army Stryker with ambulance markings. (In Afghanistan the vehicle would be desert tan.)
