At the NATO Role 3 Multinational Medical Unit on Kandahar Airfield, a group of forward deployed Navy physicians, nurses, and corpsmen are the primary trauma receiving and referral center for all combat casualties in southern Afghanistan. Most patients arrive via helicopter, and are transported from the flight line to the trauma bay via ambulance. Upon arrival, patients are triaged, taken to surgery as needed, and moved back out of theater once stabilized. With an overall coalition survival rate of 98 percent, the staff of the NATO Role 3 are dedicated to providing the highest quality medical care.
