'Today's Air Force' features medical care downrange

  • Published

With the capability to position troops and distribute supplies during combat, the Air Force has another critical mobility facet, the transporting of medical professionals. See Air Force medical experts in action, performing life-saving procedures to both military and civilian patients.
