Meet the Air Force's "life-saving" special operations surgical team

Thank you for sharing my friend PO1 William "Chip" Nagel.
I am thankful that my good friends General Joe Votel and now General Tony Thomas have commanded SOCOM over the past 5 years or so. Joe now commands CENTCOM.
"Special operations surgical teams are doctors and nurses deployed as close to the fighting as possible. Conceived in the weeks after 9/11, the teams have logged thousands of days in conflict and several members have earned the Bronze Star. Just miles from the front lines in the fight against ISIS, six members of an elite unit are fighting a battle of their own -- a battle to save lives.
Last summer, emergency medicine physician Maj. Regan Lyon, anesthesiologist Maj. Dan Farber, and surgeon Maj. Marc Northern deployed for four months as part of the Air Force's special operations surgical team.
"We can provide that life-saving intervention to our special operators, to the – the folks that are down range, protecting us, that are bringing the fight to ISIS," Northern said.
For security reasons, they can't tell us exactly where they serve, but this is "outside-the-wire medicine." Handling dozens of mass casualty situations, treating thousands of patients, military and civilian, most with combat trauma."

Another part of the AF that most folks have never heard of. Thank you for sharing.
