When a mass casualty incident occurs in the Al Anbar Province, it can be a stressful time for the nurses, corpsmen, surgeons and Marines of Taqaddum Surgical, the main facility of its kind in the region. A wounded Iraqi soldier receives a blood transfusion after suffering injuries in an insurgent attack April 27, 2006. The staff of Taqaddum Surgical treated the soldier, along with several others of the Iraqi Army after the attack. Two American service members attached to the unit's Military Transition Team were also injured. Taqaddum Surgical is classified as a surgical shock trauma platoon because it has two main elements: a shock trauma platoon, which serves as an emergency room, and a forward resuscitative surgical suite -- a battlefield operating room. The MTT is a small group of American military personnel tasked with training and advising the Iraqi soldiers as they take control of their country.
