    Maj. Gen. John A. Toolan, commanding general of Regional Command Southwest, visits with Sgt. Jacob P., a Danish tank commander with Jutland Dragoon Regiment, at the Role 3 Hospital aboard Camp Bastion, Feb. 1. Jacob, a native of Holstebro, Denmark, sustained a gunshot wound to his right shoulder while providing overwatch during Operation Shamali Kamarband Jan. 5. Then, Jan. 31, he was wounded by three gunshot wounds, one to his right shoulder and two in his left leg. On both occasions, Jacob remained calm under fire and instructed his crew to fire on the insurgents' position, killing them.
