    A UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter configured as a MEDEVAC (medical evacuation) aircraft, identifiable by the large red cross marking on its fuselage, is parked on a hardstand at what appears to be a forward operating base. Several personnel in military uniforms are present, with one crew member standing outside holding a fire extinguisher while others are visible inside the aircraft. The setting suggests pre-flight or post-flight ground operations in an arid environment.

    Spc. Megan M. McKinzie, a crew chief with 45th Medical Company (Air Ambulance) (45th Med. Co. (AA)), stands by in preparation for a run up aboard Al Asad Air Base, Iraq. Run ups for the UH-60A Black Hawk are done to ensure that all the equipment, and the helicopter itself, is working properly before going out on missions. 45th Med. Co. (AA) is deployed as part of Multi National Forces-West in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom in the Al Anbar province of Iraq to develop the Iraqi Security Forces, facilitate the development of official rule of government reforms and continue the development of a market based economy centered on Iraqi reconstruction.
