The UMRC was an humanitarian organization featured in the ONA Mobile Suit Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance.[1]
Overview
An organization which provides medical care without discrimination based on faction,[2] the UMRC was neither affiliated with the Principality of Zeon nor the Earth Federation, the two main warring faction during the One Year War. As the result, both the Zeon military and the EFF allowed medical doctors and supplies dispatched by UMRC to treat injured soldiers and personnel during and after the conflict. For UMRC, the scope of support varies with size of battlefields and intensity of the conflict, with a team of several well-trained doctors provide on-field medical services such as resuscitation, urgent operation, wound care, physical examination, etc..[3][1] The UMRC doctors could travel from one conflict zone to another, sometimes far away from their original assigned areas. All UMRC on-field personnel wore white armbands with the printed word 'UMRC' to differentiate themselves from the combatants.[3][1] The UMRC appeared to have good relations with both warring factions such that their personnel and supply vehicles could be seen in many conflict zones, especially in Europe as their services did not involve any military or political nature.
