FORWARD OPERATING BASE HAMMER, Iraq – The 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, unveiled its combat aide station at Forward Operating Base Hammer Monday.
Col. Wayne W. Grigsby, Jr., the commander of the 3rd BCT, Command Sgt. Maj. James H. Pearson, the command sergeant major of 3rd BCT, and Pfc. Relaine Hughs, the youngest medic in the 203rd Brigade Support Battalion, from Chicago, cut the ribbon on the doorway of the Forward Operating Base Hammer Sergeant Robertson Aid Station.
"The first thing we started setting up on this FOB was this aid station because we wanted to make sure our Soldiers are taken care of," said Grigsby addressing the Soldiers present.
The new aid station will be used by 3rd BCT medics to help treat injured and sick Soldiers.
"The main benefit that this building provides is that we are all now consolidated," said Sgt. 1st Class Coree Dansler, the non-commissioned officer in charge of the station, Company C, 203rd BSB, from Chauvin, La. "The weather here makes it difficult to maintain a sterile environment. This building will be much easier to keep clean. The heat out here is also a problem. The air conditioning in this building will help us more effectively treat casualties. The patients here will be our top priority."
