A simulated patient awaits treatment inside a Mobile Trauma Bay at Camp Dwyer, Afghanistan, April 27. An MTB is an armored container on top of a Logistics Vehicle System Replacement, consisting of one doctor, one nurse and three corpsmen, that brings medical treatment closer to the battlefield. "The reason they push us so far forward is so that we can treat those patients who are in need of medical care and may not survive until a higher level of care without treatment," said Navy Capt. Donald R. Sallee, 46, from Cincinnati, Ohio, officer in charge of Shock Trauma Platoon, Alpha Surgical Company, 1st Medical Battalion, 1st Marine Logistics Group (Forward).
