The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is delivering three modern helicopter landing zones at hospitals across Croatia to help reduce transportation times in emergency situations and ultimately save lives.
The helicopter landing zone projects are funded through the United States European Command, or EUCOM, and are being delivered in close coordination with the U.S. Embassy in Zagreb.
The project involves building helicopter landing zones at hospitals in the Croatian capital of Zagreb, as well as Karlovac to the west of the capital and Slavonski Brod further east in the country.
“These helicopter landing zones will provide critical capabilities to allow medical service providers to quickly bring patients to and from hospitals,” U.S. Chargé d'Affaires in Croatia Victoria Taylor said earlier this year at an event celebrating work at one of the helicopter landing zones in Karlovac.
