Army Staff Sgt. Benjamin Chou, a native of Salt Lake City, the non-commissioned officer in charge of the Advanced Trauma Life Support section of the 934th Forward Surgical Team, inspects medical instruments prior to receiving patients at Forward Operating Base Sharana Sept. 9. Chou's unit provides traumatic life, limb or eyesight care to coalition force units, Afghan civilians, Afghan national security force members and anyone else affected by the actions of war, regardless of how or by whom they were hurt. Normally a mobile unit, the mission of the 934th FST, an Army Reserve unit from Salt Lake City, has changed from following units on the battlefield to a support role inside the base, where they stand by ready to assist patients as necessary. The FST serves as the first point of treatment after a casualty (ground) or medical (air) evacuation has been performed. Since they arrived in country, members of the 934th FST have been augmented by both Air Force personnel and Army critical care nurses in an attempt to further improve the quality of care given to patients from the point of injury until they arrive at a full support hospital.
