1 Armoured Medical Regiment (1 AMR) is a specialist Close Support Medical Regiment based at Bhurtpore Barracks in Tidworth, Wiltshire. Operating within the 12th Armoured Brigade Combat Team, its primary mission is to provide immediate pre-hospital emergency care to the British Army's heavy fighting units, such as Challenger 3 tank crews and armoured infantry. The regiment is distinct for its ability to operate on the front line alongside combat troops, utilizing a fleet of tracked armoured ambulances—currently the FV432 Bulldog—to extract and treat casualties under enemy fire. Staffed by a mix of Combat Medical Technicians (CMTs), Paramedics, Nurses, and Doctors, the regiment establishes mobile Role 1 Medical Treatment Facilities, acting as the vital first link in the trauma survival chain by stabilizing patients before rearward evacuation.
