    The surgeons at Taqaddum Surgical are never quite sure what type of injuries they will see here, as they help staff the main medical facility of its kind in the region. Lt. Cmdr. Erin Felger, a 32-year-old native of St. Helena Island, S.C., and Lt. Cmdr. Mark Gould, a 41-year-old native of Cooperstown, N.Y., operate on a wounded Iraqi soldier April 27, 2006 after an insurgent attack. The staff of Taqaddum Surgical treated several soldiers of the Iraqi Army after 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.
