U.S. Air Force Maj. Michele Holderness, from Alexandria, Va., an intensive care nurse with the 934th Forward Surgical Team, prepares to record a patient’s progress in the advanced trauma life support section of the FST at Forward Operating Base Sharana recently. In order to help provide better treatment for their patients, several FSTs in Afghanistan have been augmented by Air Force medical professionals, as well as Army critical care nurses. The 934th FST is a team of Army and Air Force medical providers who treat coalition force and Afghan casualties from the battlefield and prepare them for a higher level of care. The goal of the unit is to cut down the mortality rate of battlefield injuries by ensuring all patients see a medical provider within one hour of their time of injury. Holderness is deployed from Andrews Air Force Base, Md., where she is a critical care nurse.
