Alvis FV104 Samaritan

The FV104 Samaritan fulfills the role of battlefield ambulance.
By Staff Writer

The FV104 Samaritan is the Armored Battlefield Ambulance of the Scorpion CVRT family. Built upon the same chassis, the Samaritan is equipped to take on up to two litters of wounded for transport back to safety. The FV104 Samaritan is a fast performer with a relatively low profile making it an ideal battlefield ambulance. Requiring only a crew of two, it is a welcomed addition to the Scorpion family line.
