General Note
In a secured area on the outskirts of Saigon, medics and members of an Aviation Medical Evacuation Unit practice airlifting a soldier from the ground, up into a Huey using a cable hoist, and then fly to a local medical facility. Speed and technique were graded and all concerned received a thumbs-up. Mock wounded soldier receives medical attention for a pretend head wound while another soldier radios for a MEDEVAC helicopter.
