    U.S. Soldiers with Medevac Platoon Dustoff, Charlie Company, 3rd Battalion, 238th Aviation Regiment, Task Force Dragon, hoist a litter into a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter during a training exercise near Forward Operating Base Fenty, Nangarhar province, Afghanistan, Sept. 16, 2013. Medevac teams provided emergency care to U.S. and Coalition Forces, and transport patients by air to medical treatment facilities. Using a hoist allows medevac crews to raise and lower supplies and personnel into remote or treacherous areas where landing the aircraft is impossible. (U.S. Army National Guard photo by Sgt.
