ROCK SOLID WARRIOR Published May 5, 2008 386th Expeditionary Medical Group SOUTHWEST ASIA -- Capt. Andrea Porrovecchio Ground Critical Care Team Chief Home unit/base: 60th Medical Operations Squadron, David Grant Medical Center, Travis Air Force Base, Calif. How do you support the mission here? I support the mission as the critical care physician for injured and ill troops that are transiting through on their way to definitive care in Germany. I also provide primary care for Airmen based in this wing. How many times have you deployed and what makes this one unique? I have deployed twice. I have seen more battle injuries on this deployment because it is a hub for moving patients through the aerovac system. How does your job differ in a deployed environment vs. home base? In this environment my patient population is much younger. The critical patients that come through are often secondary to battle injury, which at home, is not the case.
