During the Battle of Fallujah in 2004, Miller coordinated airstrikes and medevacs from the ground for American forces. |
Troop numbers in Iraq were winding down, and so were the medevacs in Southern Iraq and Kuwait. |
What followed was a whirlwind of medevacs, hospitals and surgeries. |
However, MEDEVACs were used extensively to transport emergency blood shipments. |
Before the 2000 epidemic wore itself out, there were six medevacs, although no one died. |
If we had landed at the hospital pad, we may have prevented subsequent medevacs from landing, which may have put other patient's lives at risk. |
