Colombian military members and U.S. Army Civil Affairs soldiers assigned to Company B, 98th Battalion, 95th CA Brigade (Airborne), unload two tons of medical supplies and equipment off a Colombian military cargo plane in preparation for a two-day Surgical Civic Action Program, April 27-28, in the small town of La Macarena, Colombia, located 170 miles south of Bogota. The SURGCAP, which was organized by the Colombian military with support from U.S. Army Civil Affairs soldiers, helped provide medical services in such fields as pediatrics, dermatology, general medicine, optometry, ophthalmology, dentistry, and general surgery to more than 1,000 citizens living in the remote town.
