Lance Cpl. Hector Dominguez, Jr., radios all the docs and corpsmen telling them there?s a helicopter inbound with patients on board, as he goes outside to help prepare an ambulance for the trip to the flight line Jan. 11, 2004. The nuclear, biological and chemical-protected ambulances can hold up to eight ?walking wounded,? or four litters for incapacitating injuries, explained Lance Cpl. Nathan P. Lukens a 23-year-old Phoenix, Ariz., native. The Marines know that the quicker they get patients to the doctors and corpsmen of the S/STP, the easier it is for the docs to save their brothers-in-arms. It?s that knowledge that makes them strive to be faster and better at what they do.
