Operation Enduring Freedom

Sergeant Malik Hamet, an Afghan National Army Air Corps flight medic, and U.S. Air Force Capt. Cassie Ayott, a flight-nurse advisor assigned to the 438th Air Expeditionary Advisor Squadron, wait for 455th Medical Group staff members from the Craig Joint Theater Hospital to open a gate and bring patients to the flightline for transportation aboard an Mi-17 helicopter May 12, 2010, at Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan. The goal of the medical evacuations is to allow Afghan medical personnel to access remote towns and villages where medical care is not adequate or transportation is not available to assist in critical situations. Also, it frees up bed space in coalition medical facilities, and allows Afghans to provide medical care for their countrymen in Afghan hospitals with Afghan medical staffs.
