Good News from Iraq: 3 May 2007

From MNF-I, US troops training Iraqis to save lives.

Ramadi - “We’ve been working with the PSF here for the last two and a half weeks to get them better prepared to handle situations in their area,” said Sgt. Charles Dinkins, a tanker with Company A [3rd Battalion, 69th Armor Regiment]. “Today, we’re showing them basic medical aid to help their buddies out on the battlefield.”

The Soldiers taught the Iraqis airway movement, the different types of bleeding, how to stop bleeding, and how to administer air tubes to restore oxygen flow in the body.

Pretty cool, huh?

Oh, is my ER nurse showing?
