    On 6 September 2006 service members with Taqaddum Surgical, 1st Marine Logistics Group (Fwd.), unload a "casualty" from an ambulance during the "mass casualty" drill on Wednesday, September 6th. "(The mass casualty drill) lets them (replacements) know how chaotic things can get," said Petty Officer 2nd Class Oscar M. Morales, 24-year-old section leader for the Shock Trauma Platoon with Taqaddum Surgical. Mass casualty means that up to or more than 20 patients arrive in less than a half hour. Petty Officer 2nd Class Joshua W. Bromley, a corpsman with Taqaddum Surgical said that corpsmen should "never go complacent, because you never know what can come through that door." Service members in the exercise treated many different simulated injuries, varying from minor to fatal. Teqaddum Surgical, 1st Marine Logistics Group is deployed with I MEF (FWD) in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom in the Al Anbar Province of Iraq (MNF-W) to develop the Iraqi Security Forces, facilitate the development of official rule of law through democratic government reforms, and continue the development of a market based economy centered on Iraqi Reconstruction.
