This means that, should an emergency occur which require an ambulance, fatalities is probable, given the distance between the base and the nearest hospital. The lack of appropriate medical transport to other medical services is costly to soldiers as the use of alternative transport cost a soldier at least R300. It was recommended that a car and ambulance, provided for the sickbay in previous years, should be re-instated.
