Medevac team saves lives in southern Afghanistan: (WASHINGTON POST)
December 06, 2010
Medevac teams work at about 20 locations in Afghanistan, where they serve as a net of sorts for soldiers and Marines caught in a high-wire act every day. The medics save everybody - U.S. soldiers and Marines, Afghan civilians, even Taliban fighters. The Helmand-based medevac team I traveled with - Charlie Company, from the 6th Battalion and 101st Aviation Regiment, known as Shadow Dustoff - is among the busiest in Afghanistan. Since the team arrived this spring, it has gone on more than 2,000 missions and evacuated more than 2,500 patients.click here to View
