Rheinmetall receives order for field hospitals from Danish Ministry of Defence
February 27, 2026 – At the end of 2025, Rheinmetall subsidiary Rheinmetall Mobile Systeme GmbH signed a contract with the Danish procurement authority for five Role 2 field hospitals. The contract value is in the mid double-digit million euro range and was booked in the fourth quarter of 2025. Delivery of all systems is scheduled to take place within two years.
The field hospitals are divided into three Role 2B (Basic) hospitals and two Role 2E (Enhanced) hospitals. The Role 2B is fully containerized and operates as a mobile unit mounted on trucks. This ensures rapid deployment and expedited operation. The Role 2B delivery also includes a tent-based Forward Module, which can either complement the Basic system or be used independently. The Role 2B trauma system offers full diagnostic and surgical capabilities. After stabilization near battlefield regions, patients are transferred to rearward-facing units.
The Role 2E has double the operating room and intensive care capacity and additional capabilities such as a computed tomography (CT) scanner, laboratory and pharmacy containers as well as a dental treatment unit. The containers are field-proven and specifically designed to withstand military environmental conditions and the rigors of transport. In collaboration with the Danish customer, the medical equipment was selected to be ideally already in use by the Danish Medical Service.
Both the Basic and Enhanced systems are fully self-sufficient in the field for a specified period and are delivered with their own power, water, and oxygen supplies. Military sanitary facilities complete the field hospital’s equipment package.
“We are delighted to have been awarded this contract by a major NATO partner. The collaboration with the Danish procurement agency and the end-users has been extremely professional, cooperative, and goal-oriented from the outset. Together, we have been able to develop high-performance, mission-oriented solutions for the Danish Medical Service,” explained Armin Krenn, Managing Director of Rheinmetall Mobile Systeme.
