Treatment at Taqaddum Surgical is only the beginning for some patients, many of whom are flown by medical helicopter evacuation to higher levels of care elsewhere in Iraq. Navy Lieutenants Robert Spencer, of Sylacauga, Ala., and Kristian Sanchack, of San Diego, along with Petty Officer 1st Class James Wallace, of Queen Creek, Az., and Petty Officer 3rd Class Jesse Bolstad, of Spokane, Wash., quickly transport a wounded service member from the treatment room to the ambulance April 27, 2006. The staff of Taqaddum Surgical, the main facility of its kind in the region, treated several soldiers of the Iraqi Army after a recent insurgent attack. The Iraqi unit had several wounded in the attack that also hit two American service members attached to the unit?s Military Transition Team. 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.
