Army Sgt. Rene Castellanos treats a burn from a cooking stove on the foot of a young Afghan girl, while her brother assists in providing care at Combat Outpost Honaker-Miracle, Aug. 13. Castellanos, of South Pasadena, Calif., serves as the senior line medic for Company C, 2nd Battalion, 12th Infantry Regiment, which is assigned to Task Force Mountain Warrior. Simple care like this is necessary in the austere environments of Afghanistan. Without proper treatment the burn may become infected and cause the girl to lose her leg or even death.
