02:21:02 Casualty training exercise: battlefield ambulance arrives outside the Accident and Emergency tent. (Black screen between 02:21:15 and 02:22:05 - ambient sound only and cameraman's voice - this is because the camera crew are inside the unlit, box-like ambulance.)

02:24:45 Stretcher is moved through the front "door" (tented flap) of the hospital into the Accident and Emergency section. Inside, an initial casualty survey and triage is made on the "casualty".
