In the Pacific Theater of WW II, the US Navy designed a 1/4-ton jeep based ambulance, more agile and maneuverable than the Army-standard Dodge WC-54, 3/4-ton ambulance, and the scarce USMC-standard International HArvester M-1-4, 1/2-ton 4x4. Some 200 standard jeeps were converted by Holden (G.M. Australia), to a design by battalion surgeon Lt. Cmdr. French Moore, for the USMC, fielded to Guadalcanal by January 1943.
