00:01.070 --> 00:03.720
The 7248 Medical Support Unit MSU ,

00:04.079 --> 00:06.599
we're here at Vogel Hall , and we

00:06.599 --> 00:08.600
process up to 500 soldiers daily ,

00:08.920 --> 00:11.119
several thousands every month , and so

00:11.119 --> 00:13.510
we validate soldier readiness , their

00:13.510 --> 00:15.760
medical readiness , and what that does

00:15.760 --> 00:17.982
is that ensures that the commander that

00:17.982 --> 00:20.204
takes soldiers downrange , that they're

00:20.204 --> 00:22.371
medically ready and able to contribute

00:22.371 --> 00:24.540
as a viable team member . It's vital

00:24.540 --> 00:27.030
for soldiers to be ready and to be able

00:27.030 --> 00:29.180
to contribute to the mission to be an

00:29.180 --> 00:31.236
integral part of the unit , so we're

00:31.236 --> 00:33.402
validating that they are medically and

00:33.402 --> 00:35.513
mentally healthy and capable of doing

00:35.513 --> 00:38.500
their jobs and their tasks . Our role

00:38.599 --> 00:42.409
is to ensure that units that are either

00:42.409 --> 00:45.000
going to a rotation outside of the US

00:45.000 --> 00:47.000
or inside of the US or units coming

00:47.000 --> 00:49.222
back and get the proper healthcare that

00:49.222 --> 00:51.130
are needed so if they get sick ,

00:51.240 --> 00:53.590
whether it's flu or they get injured

00:53.590 --> 00:55.701
due to an ankle roll or anything like

00:55.701 --> 00:58.119
that , we're able to take care of them

00:58.119 --> 01:01.509
and still keep them in the fight . In

01:01.509 --> 01:04.419
terms of vision , my job is to make

01:04.419 --> 01:06.660
sure that all soldiers that process

01:06.660 --> 01:08.771
through here can see according to the

01:08.771 --> 01:10.993
army standards and of course that means

01:10.993 --> 01:13.779
glasses , iPro inserts , gas masks ,

01:13.860 --> 01:15.749
all that , because without that ,

01:15.749 --> 01:17.860
that's another tool that will be able

01:17.860 --> 01:19.916
to help them perform when they're on

01:19.916 --> 01:22.339
their mobilization so that is , is

01:22.339 --> 01:26.209
number one for us . I love going on

01:26.209 --> 01:28.042
mobilizations because it's super

01:28.080 --> 01:30.430
rewarding . I feel like we're serving

01:30.430 --> 01:33.489
the most deserving patients because

01:33.500 --> 01:35.500
we're serving the patients that are

01:35.500 --> 01:37.709
serving this country . So I find it

01:38.089 --> 01:41.040
absolutely humbling to be able to be

01:41.040 --> 01:43.262
with the soldiers and to be able to get

01:43.262 --> 01:43.989
them to accomplish their missions .
