This is a side effect of recent US conflicts being low-intensity COIN operations involving brigade sized or smaller assets that spend most of their time in garrison.

In a conventional conflict mobilizing entire divisions, as the US is now preparing for again, you will see far more capable field hospitals again, because the US won't have the necessary capacity (either in terms of airlift volume nor existing hospital beds) to afford this luxury.
