Surgical Capability Provides Mission Success Throughout the AOR
Major (Doctor) Brian Holt, 379th Expeditionary Medical Group General Surgeon, fixates a surgical prosthetic mesh over the reduced inguinal hernia with a laparoscopic tacker, June 5, 2009, at an undisclosed location in Southwest Asia. This specific surgery allows the patient to return to duty quicker and with less pain. The surgeries performed here range from elective to acute emergencies. The surgical team provides treatment for patients coming in from all over the U.S. Central Command's Area of Responsibility. Major Holt hails from St. Peters, Mo. and is deployed from Misawa Air Base, Japan in support of Operations Iraqi and Enduring Freedom and Combined Joint Task Force - Horn of Africa.
