In 2004 the Canadian Forces Medical Service (CFMS) of the Canadian Forces underwent a reorganization. The army reserve units, which had formerly been titled medical companies (Med Coy), were renamed field ambulances (Fd Amb) to match the titles of the regular units. In addition, all regular and reserve army units were removed from the brigades and placed in a new formation:
