The double stacked containers in the centre housed on the bottom floor the equivalent of a Regimental Aid Post or Treatment Room where basic day to day medical treatment was provided. The containers on the top housed the personnel from Farner Air who provided the fixed wing aircraft that enabled medical services to be provided throughout the Mission Area.
