Iraq Medics: Wounded

United States Military personnel help load injured soldiers onto a cargo plane en route to Germany from the Balad Air Force base, in Iraq. The interior lights of the plane are red because of an 'alarm red' attack, which indicates that the base is under attack, usually by incoming mortar rounds. Since the attack on Fallujah began in early November, hundreds of soldiers have been injured and evacuated from the country. November 13, 2006
