Lee Brooks, Director of Operations, Brigadier Andrew Dawes CBE, Chief Executive Jason Killens, and Major Chris Graham THE Armed Forces have been thanked by the Welsh Ambulance Service for their support during the Covid-19 pandemic. More than 200 soldiers from the British Army assisted the trust by driving and decontaminating ambulance vehicles as part of their Operation Rescript. The first teams were deployed in April last year after intense training at Sennybridge, with more teams in the summer and Christmas. Ninety of the soldiers from 9 Regiment Royal Logistic Corps were enlisted on Christmas Eve during the height of the pandemic’s second wave. Over the course of the pandemic, more than 100 Army personnel have been deployed as ambulance crews, assisting with more than 12,000 callouts across Wales.
