VBC Correspondents embedded with Coalition troops (19)
Filed by VBC Security Contributor William Parker
Continued from last week's story, VBC Correspondent Alfred Lennard and I were participating in a presence patrol when a Coalition force vehicle struck an improvised explosive device, or IED.
Captain Vincent immediately took charge of the situation and the medic immediately provided first aid to the injured, Captain Vincent and Staff Sergeant Esmond from the Embed Training Team (ETT) organized a medevac.
The soldiers loaded the casualties on the LAV and drove to a clearing where they can setup a helicopter landing zone, or HLZ. Within minutes, a HH-60W Pave Hawk helicopter from the Pararescue Wing landed and evacuated the casualties. Mr. Lennard followed the soldiers as they loaded the casualties, and the Pararescuemen allowed Mr. Lennard to board the helicopter as they evacuated the casualties to the Role 3 Hospital.
