U.S. Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class Randy Ball (center), a corpsman with Headquarters Platoon, Kilo Company, 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, and a 23-year-old native of Mamou, La., is aided by fellow corpsmen while using an ultrasound machine to search an Afghan National Policeman for internal injuries in the battalion aid station here after he was injured in an attack by a suicide bomber in Helmand province’s Garmsir district, April 19, 2012. The 3/3 corpsmen treated eight injured Afghan policemen after being faced with a mass casualty situation following the attack on an ANP precinct headquarters in Garmsir’s Lakari region. Ten of the 18 total ANP casualties died from wounds sustained in the attack. After initially being stabilized by three 3/3 corpsmen at Combat Outpost Sharp, eight casualties were transported to FOB Delhi and treated by a team of 28 Navy personnel. Medical evacuation helicopters later transported six ANP casualties to Camp Dwyer’s Casualty Support Hospital for further treatment, while the remaining two were treated and released.
