Part of the CVR(T) family, the Samaritan is the armoured ambulance variant. It has a capacity for up to 6 casualties.
The Samaritan has a longer hull in order to allow the four stretcher patients to be carried into the vehicle, the vehicle's roof has also been heightened and the rear door made a little larger. The vehicle is fitted with an air-conditioning unit for the casualty compartment. Samaritan also comes with NBC protection and air units. On the roof is a large container for medical stowage.
Picture many not be a Samaritan but they are a shy AFV and don't like to have their piccie taken.
