		Ambulances were used as long ago as the eleventh and twelfth centuries, when men wounded in battle during the Crusades were carried by horse-drawn wagons behind the front lines for treatment.
		Under the laws of war, an ambulance marked by a red cross is not to be fired on and is to be permitted to carry out its duties in spite of the fighting.
		American ambulances usually are fitted with red (and sometimes white, amber and/or blue, depending on local law) flashing lights and a siren that continuously rises and falls, as opposed to the two or three-tone sirens heard in other countries.

	Flying Ambulance
		The larger ambulances "were drawn by four horses and had two drivers." [25] They also had a compartment in the back for carrying forage for the horses and were capable of carrying four men with their legs slightly folded.
		In contrast, Larrey's flying ambulance, a much lighter and swifter carriage, was designed to follow the advanced guard and provide initial treatment to the wounded (by applying dressings on the field of battle) while emphasizing the need to rapidly transport the more critically injured away from the battlefield.
		For example, at Austerlitz in 805, he skillfully posted and directed his ambulances such that the wounded "were almost all dressed on the field of battle." [53] Larrey attributed most of the effectiveness of his carriages in the heat of battle to their speed, allowing them to follow even difficult cavalry movements.
