U.S. Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class Jose R. Perez, a corpsman with the Regimental Combat Team 5 regimental aid station and 34-year-old native of San German, Puerto Rico, tracks the status of patients at the casualty tracking center here, Dec. 27. Whether it’s getting them back to the front lines for another day in the fight, or back home to fully recover from their wounds, the RCT-5 casualty trackers ensure that their Marine brothers and sisters received the care they need. Since their tenure began here in August, Perez and HM3 Bradley Donahue, a fellow corpsman with the RCT-5 RAS and 30-year-old native of Mission Viejo, Calif., have personally tracked 200 patients, keeping RCT-5 and its subordinate battalions well informed of patient status and ensuring patients receive the necessary care to return to the fight.
