Description	Image of the American Ambulance Service, as well as a group of soldiers.
Historical note	The American Field Service (AFS), or the American Ambulance Field Service as it was first called, was a volunteer organization of ambulance drivers for the French Army before the United States entered the war. In 1917, it was incorporated into the United States Army Medical Department, renamed the United States Army Ambulance Service and continued serving the French for the rest of the war. The AFS traces back to the American Ambulance Hospital established in 1914 by wealthy Americans living in Paris.
