The CADUS technician taught the HSaK/KRC crew about the operation of the mobile hospital including running the generators, flood lights, air coolers, and keeping the mobile hospital trucks and trailers in good working condition. We are very happy about the excellent communication and understanding of HSaK/KRC.
