The Primary Casualty Receiving Facility (PCRF) Pathology Department was deployed on Operation GRITROCK from October 2014 to April 2015 to support the medical treatment facility on RFA ARGUS. The department deployed with enhanced microbiology capability and effectively became the microbiology reference laboratory for the Joint Operations Area (JOA). A platelet apheresis capability was delivered in the maritime environment for the first time on an active operation.
