The Navy maintains 10 500-bed fleet hospitals in its Deployable Medical Systems inventory. Eight of the hospitals are pre-positioned throughout the world. The fleet hospitals are containerized and are equipped with biomedical devices such as anesthesia apparatus, monitor-recorder electrocardiographs, and visual ultrasonic apparatus. Each fleet hospital requires about 450 containers for storage. The Navy Fleet Hospital Program Office was a detachment of the Naval Supply Systems Command until October 1, 1999. On October 1, 1999, the office was realigned under the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery.
