#3 They aren't the only people using that tech, nor are their locations the only places it is in use. There are people working to get more of this tech to good people in some tight spots. Its a shame they are in the process of being screwed by regional enemies as well as former allies.

#4 The US Army has been using this approach for awhile. The CASH unit (Combat Army Surgical Hospital, which replaced the MASH's of Korea and Vietnam) are built around a modular container. each of which is basically an equipped ER or crash room. The pods are designed to hook together, usually in a four way cross, and seal up. The whole thing basically hooks together like building blocks.
The system mostly wasn't used in the late unpleasantness in the Middle East because buildings were already available (i.e. Ibn Sina in Baghdad and the facility at Bagram).
