1-10th Mountain Soldiers Render Medical Aid to Injured Iraqi

Spc. James Gale, a medic with the 1/10th Mountain Division's 1st Battalion, 87th Infantry Regiment, provides medical aid to an Iraqi farmer who had injured his hand while working to provide for his family. The 1-87 Inf. Soldiers were patrolling through villages in the Kirkuk area of northern Iraq - assessing the area for security issues and other problems that need to be resolved. Because most Iraqi villages lack medical clinics or hospitals, Soldiers ensure a medic travels with them to each area visited, available to administer first aid to citizens in need.
