Vehicle wreckage litters the ground after a convoy carrying Marines and other personnel came into contact with an Improvised Explosive Device during a deployment to Afghanistan in 2011. All three passengers in the vehicle were injured, but the driver had gotten the worst of the explosion. Luckily, Petty Officer 2nd Class Alvin Prasad, a Fleet Marine Force corpsman with the Navy Medical Center San Diego stationed aboard Marine Corps Air Station Miramar at the base medical clinic and a San Diego, native, was with the convoy. Prasad, assisted by a Marine with Emergency Medical Technician training, stabilized the three victims—saving their lives.
