US Army Medivac Evacuate War Wounded In Afghanistan

KANDAHAR PROVINCE, AFGHANISTAN – NOVEMBER 01: (EDITORS NOTE: Image contains graphic content.) An American medic in the 82nd Airborne Combat Aviation Brigade gives CPR to a grievously wounded unidentified Afghan National Army soldier (ANA) in a Medivac helicopter November 1, 2009 in Kandahar province, Afghanistan. The soldier, who later died of his injuries, had stepped on a land mine planted by insurgents severely wounding his legs. Medivac medics, crew chiefs and pilots fly at a moments’ notice into the war zone in Afghanistan, quickly retrieving wounded Western and Afghan troops alike from the battlefield.
