    Lt. Cmdr. Pamela C. Harvey, 39-year-old doctor from Muscatine, Iowa, Navy Lt. Navy Lt. Ron F. Sanders, a 40-year-old native of New Orleans, La. and Navy Lt. Marko J. Radakovic, a 30-year-old flight/shock-trauma-platoon nurse from Los Angeles, talk medical strategy before the mobile- surgical mass-casualty drill. TQ Surgical's Forward Resuscitative Surgical System mobilizes in minutes. Within the hour, they are in striking distance of the enemy. But it's not so much the enemy they're worried about. The unit brings general surgeons, anesthesiologists, operating room technicians, nurses and corpsmen to the fight, and is equipped with the latest life-saving technology. And they follow assaulting units every step of the way. "We hope to get Field Medical Service School or Fleet Marine Force Corpsmen (for the team)," said Radakovic, "(sailors who) know a lot more about Marines so that they can help better on the front." The 1st Marine Logistics Group (Forward) is deployed 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.
