Staff Sgt. Season Bachman, 379th Expeditionary Medical Support Squadron laboratory technician, puts a tourniquet on Airman 1st Class Mason Amadio, 8th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron weapons systems controller, prior to a platelet donation, Jan. 24, 2023, at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar. Since platelets only last for 5-7 days, there is a continuous need for donors to participate in AUAB’s apheresis program. The platelets collected are shipped to two locations within the Central Command Area of Responsibility.
