A Navy Corpsman attends to a wounded Marine as part of a medical evacuation in Vietnam, 1968. When combat begins, corpsmen are the first to rush to provide aid. This particular Corpsman is a member of the 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines operating near Da Nang. If the injuries are severe, a Marine helicopter is called to evacuate the wounded to an inland hospital or a hospital ship in the South China Sea. DEFENSE DEPT. PHOTO (MARINE CORPS)
