Republic Mobile Surgical Units were mobile,[3] prefabricated[4] medical centers utilized by the Galactic Republic's Grand Army during the Clone Wars against the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Employed by most Republic battalions, the surgical units were operated by a combination of medical interns, volunteers, droids, and members from the Jedi MedCorps, who handled wounded individuals. However, those who required long-term medical care were transferred to larger medical facilities, such as Haven-class medical stations, or MedStar-class and Pelta-class frigates.[3]
After the Proclamation of the New Order and the rise of the Galactic Empire, the Mobile Surgical Units were replaced by the new Imperial version.[4]
