| Triage wounded Vietnam War |
| A wounded South Vietnamese soldier is received in Xuan Loc after evacuation from the battlefield at Vo Xu. This triage operation was conducted by both US and ARVN (Army of the Republic of South Vietnam) medical personnel. Patients would be airlifted from the battlefield to the medical facilities in UH-1 or "Huey" helicopters. In this specific evacuation operation, up to 50 casualties where received and treated. The frantic pace of triage would often see the arrival of wounded in several helicopters at once, putting the skills of the seasoned medical teams to the test. |
