Aid Bureau of Worplesdon

the Aid Bureau of Worplesdon, (ABW) was formed by King Ben to help in natural and man made disasters both in Worplesdon and abroad. Most of the 10,000 aid workers are volunteers from the Worplesdon Territorial Army. Though fully qualified doctors and sugeons aboard the hospital ships are all professionals, paid to work on the ships.
The aid workers carry PDWs inside their vehicles whilst operating in warzones, or other theatres considered hostile, give them some protection. Though they do not carry them on themselves. In other un-hostile theatres, no weapons are carried onboard vehicles. All vehicles of the ABW are painted brilliant white, the initials A.B.W printed on the front, and large red crosses on the sides.
We ask that no hostilities be bought on the ABW, whether or not the nation in question is an enemy of Worplesdon. The ABW does not see friend or foe, only wounded and dying people, they are to help soldiers and civilians of all countries.
If hostilities are bought upon the ABW, and damage is incurred to equipment, Worplesdon will demand that the offenders pay for said equipment. In the event of an aid worker being injured or killed due to hostilities, a full inquiry shall be conducted, and further action WILL be taken by the Worplesdon government.

Two converted CVN-14 Megatooth Class Aircraft Carriers. One of the runways a the front of the ship has been converted into helipads. It now has space for 6 helicopters, no hangers, and upto Chinook size. The second runway has been untouched, allowing for STOL aircraft to land and take off. Hanger space below deck (accesible via elevators) provides room for upto 6 aircraft (of a size similar to the Dornier Do 228.) These both take off and land from the single runway.
