On Saturday, Feb. 5 just after noon, an exploding mortar round hit the Markale market in Sarajevo killing more than 63 people and wounding 206 others. At the request of the United Nations, aircraft from Rhein-Main AB, Germany, and the International Red Cross were sent in to Sarajevo to airlift the wounded to Ramstein AB, Germany. Once at Ramstein the wounded were transported by medical bus to the Army Regional Medical Center in Landstuhl. Members from the 2nd Aero Medical Evacuation Squadron, Ramstein AB, load a C-130 cargo aircraft with medical supplies and equipment
