Forward Operating Base Ghazni is home to 24 Air Force Forward Surgical Team members. They provide medical care to all U.S. service members, coalition forces and Afghans here. The triage process here consists of doing an initial assessment and treatment prior to the patients entering the emergency room. After the patients are brought into the four-bed ER, medics either treat and stabilize or prepare the patient for surgery in the operating room. Once stabilized, the team’s job is maintain treatment until the patient is transported to Bagram or Kabul for a higher level of long-term care. The Ghazni FST is not designed or equipped to treat patients over a long amount of time. (U.S. Air Force photo/ Staff Sgt. Stephenie Wade)
