Surgical Capability Provides Mission Success Throughout the AOR
Major Alicia Waits, 379th Expeditionary Medical Group anesthesiologist, monitors the patient's vital signs and level of anesthesia during an operation for an inguinal hernia, 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 Waits hails from New Orleans, La. and is deployed from Lackland Air Force Base, Texas, in support of Operations Iraqi and Enduring Freedom and Combined Joint Task Force - Horn of Africa.
