The Dnieguan Bureau of Emergency Medical Services, also known as the Royal Emergency Medical Corps, or Bureau of EMS, was established on March 17, 1984, united the command of all 9 holds state Emergency Medical Sercives, Government-operated and municipal operated EMS organizations, local, volunteer services, and a number of private EMS organizations with one another under direct control of the Dnieguan Armed Forces Civilan Corps. The Bureau of EMS provides emergency care and treatment of the sick and injured persons of all 9 holds and the capital of the Hetmanate of Dniegua. The B-EMS staffs ambulances 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year and is one of three designated emergency responding agencies of Dniegua, along with the local Police Brigade and Fire Brigades, who respond to 999 calls. All ambulances are staffed to at least a Basic Life Support level, with some 35,000 advanced practitioners providing more advanced care methodologies. The Dnieguan Royal Medical Corps is the primary emergency medical response and critical care transport entity in Dniegua, receiving over 17 million calls annually as of 2017.

Structure and Ranks

The Bureau of EMS is composed of 10 regional commands, each representing Dnieguas 9 holds and the largest city and capital of Ostengrad. These commands are further subdivided into Divisions, which are organized at discretion of regional command, and Battalions, who are divided among their respective stations and headquarters. Individual standard operating procedures may vary battalion to battalion at discretion of the battalion headquarters officers and staff.

Rankings are typically only used for pay and seniority between Enlisted and Warrant ranked crewmen. Sergeants are approved as field training officers and may take on new enlistees or conscript in a field training roll, but are unlikely to use rank as a position of subjective authority traditionally. Rather, experience level and competency is seen as markers of true leadership, and individuals regardless of rank typically work in a cooperative agreement.
