    Maj. Scott Armen, a surgeon from Gainesville, Fla., and other soldiers of the Columbus, Ohio, 629th Forward Surgical Team, examine a Ugandan soldier hit in the head by a steel beam. 1st. Lt. Matthew Boyer (not shown), a nurse, was the medical officer-in-charge at the site, and having no neck braces, improvised and stabilized the injured man's neck with a pair of boots. The Ugandan soldier was quickly flown by helicopter to a hospital in Kampala, 200 miles south.
