U.S. Army Field Hospital Treats Sick and Wounded in Afghanistan

PUL-E ALAM, AFGHANISTAN - APRIL 07: U.S. Army Maj. James Hart shows Haji Niyaz Mohammad Amirii (R), provincial governor of Logar Province, his chest X-ray following an examination after he arrived at the field hospital on Forward Operating Base (FOB) Shank complaining of pain in his shoulder and chest on April 7, 2014 in Pul-e Alam, Afghanistan. The mission of soldiers on FOB Shank is to advise and assist the Afghan National Army (ANA) troops stationed at nearby Camp Maiwand. Although Camp Maiwand has its own hospital, physicians at FOB Shank will occasionally offer assistance when the Maiwand hospital does not have the equipment or expertise to treat the patient.
