A Medical Evacuation helicopter prepares to land at Forward Operating Base Farah, Afghanistan, carrying civilian contractors that were wounded by an insurgent mine explosion, Jan. 24. Doctors, nurses, and corpsmen assigned to both the Farah Provincial Reconstruction Team and the Farah Forward Surgical Team scrambled to meet the incoming casualties in order to provide immediate care. That evening the medical teams stabilized the three contractors and provided treatment as needed, including one surgery to repair numerous leg fractures on one patient.
