Aid station

An aid station at a public festival.

An aid station is a temporary facility (often a tent, table, or general rest area) established to provide supplies to endurance event participants or medical first aid and provisions during major events, disaster response situations, or military operations.[1]

Aid stations may be divided into sections where the station serves both medical and non-medical functions.[1]
