Having just received multiple patients from an insurgent attack in the Al Anbar Province of Iraq, the sailors and Marines of Taqaddum Surgical had their hands full April 13, 2006. Navy Lt. j. g. Catherine L. Hayes, a 24-year-old native of Charlottesville, Va., takes a breather after treating one of the injured service members. Hayes, a registered nurse, and the others at Taqaddum Surgical handle the duties of both a shock trauma platoon and a forward resuscitative surgical suite here, which are essentially makeshift emergency and operating rooms. When a service member is injured in battle in the Al Anbar Province, he receives specialized resuscitative treatment from the STP, with surgery provided by the FRSS. More extensive care is provided at one of the Combat Army Surgical Hospitals in Baghdad or Balad.
