<p>By Capt. Bruce Meneley, commanding officer, NATO Role 3 Multinational Medical Unit, Kandahar, Afghanistan.<br><br>"The Role 3 staff members have maintained an amazing survival rate for<br>incoming U.S. casualties since we arrived in August. There is a 100% survival rate for those arriving with a pulse. We have also literally brought back several from the dead, arriving in full arrest with cardiopulmonary resuscitation in progress, through heroic and<br>extraordinary efforts by the trauma teams. However, sometimes troops have sustained injuries that are incompatible with survival, often only determined after the staff have expended every effort and poured their hearts and souls into saving them. It becomes very personal."
