In Afghanistan, US Pilots Aim to Save Lives, Win Hearts

In Afghanistan, US Pilots Aim to Save Lives, Win Hearts

20 August 2010 22:11 (UTC +04:00)

Baku â€“ APA. In July, the U.S military recorded its highest monthly death toll in the nine-year Afghanistan war, APA reports quoting â€œThe Voice of Americaâ€.

As the casualty rate steadily climbs, army medical evacuation units play an increasingly vital role in the war - both in saving soldiers lives, and in the battle for Afghan hearts, by helping injured civilians. Sam Beattie reports from southern Afghanistan.

The emergency call has come, and a U.S. Army medevac team is preparing to take off. This is Charlie Company of the 6th Battalion, 101st Aviation Brigade and the crew has 15 minutes from the time they get the call to get in the air. Their goal: to get the injured person to medical care within what trauma experts call the golden hour, when the chance of survival is highest.
