FORWARD OPERATING BASE HAMMER, Iraq — Soldiers of the 3rd Heavy Brigade Combat Team’s 3rd Squadron, 1st Cavalry Regiment, conducted a humanitarian mission to bring medical care and assistance to Iraqi citizens in need in the city of Hollandia on Monday.
Soldiers unloaded a truckload of medical supplies for the mission. The troopers, along with Iraqi Security Forces, patrolled along the city streets and set up five triage stations. The Soldiers also established dental, x-ray and pharmacy stations.
Army medics and civil affairs medical personnel, Iraqi pharmacy technicians and three Iraqi doctors, worked alongside Army doctors from the 3rd HBCT to screen and treat injuries and ailments of more than 180 Hollandia citizens.
“This is a good example of the local government and American Soldiers working together to provide medical aid to the populace,” said Maj. Dan Laseria, a civil affairs company commander, 36, Fort Bragg, NC. “We had local medical officials, Iraqi Army doctors and US medical personnel working alongside each other, learning from each other. This provided a learning and sharing environment for medical professionals, whether Iraqi or American.”
The 3-1 Cavalry is assigned to the 3rd HBCT, 3rd Infantry Division, Fort Benning, Ga.
