# Emergency Medical Field Unit

A blank organisation chart for a hospital's emergency medical field unit: a unit leader, two squads and eight teams of doctors, nurses and aides, with lines left blank for names. It is an administrative form, and the technique is faint here: only the official civil-defence imprint lends it authority.
