As the medical readiness non-commissioned officer in charge, Staff Sgt. Rebecca Pollock talks her heat casualty patient through an intravenous therapy to correct electrolyte imbalances. Nine female Georgia Guardsmen have been selected to integrate into combat related positions that were formerly all male. Pollock, a combat medic, will be one of those chosen to join the ranks of the 48th Infantry Brigade Combat Team line companies. The 48th IBCT is one of nine Army National Guard infantry brigades to receive the authorization for assigning women to their maneuver battalions.
“I know a lot of the medics over there,” continues Pollock. “A lot of them I have deployed or cross trained with. With the support I have back home and within the command team, I feel completely safe and confident going into an all male unit.”
