Guild Associates designed and fielded the Mobile Integrated Remains Collection System (MIRCS) for the US Army to provide safe and respectful human remains collection in the war theatre in any place in the world. Experience with the MIRCS has led to development of the RSU series of Portable Morgues in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Download the Information Flyer here.
