    Two U.S. Army soldiers in ACU (Army Combat Uniform) camouflage are standing in front of a plywood sign reading 'Occupational Therapy' at what appears to be a forward operating base. The sign features a unit emblem with the text 'Lifeline' and references to an 'Brigade Support Battalion.' The setting appears to be an austere military installation, likely in a deployed environment.

    U.S. Army Spc. Jessica Rivera-Mendoza, a member of 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team’s mild traumatic brain injury clinic, from New Castle, Del., and U.S. Army Capt. Erik Johnson, an occupational therapist at the mTBI clinic, from Little Rock, Ark., are among the first to help setup and staff Afghanistan’s first mTBI clinic, located at Forward Operating Base Shank in June of this year. The clinic provides treatments and diagnoses of soldiers who may have suffered from mTBI injuries due to improvised explosive device explosions. Previously, mTBI patients had to receive medical treatment out of theater and lost of a lot of time recovering while trying to return to duty.
