HIGH VISIBILITY AND SUPPORT
“The Navy is working closely with our sister services
to field an unprecedented MRI capability for our forces in
Afghanistan as part of the overall comprehensive approach
to diagnosing and treating concussive injuries,” said U.S.
Navy Surgeon General, Vice Adm. Adam M. Robinson, Jr.
“The fact that our team was able to design, acquire and
deliver this new capability to the battlefield in less than 12
months is a testament to the commitment and creativity of
the joint medical and logistics teams.”
The first two systems have been delivered to the British
Role 3 hospital in Camp Bastion. The NATO Role 3 hospital
in Kandahar with a third system scheduled for delivery in
early fall 2012.
