MERT - quick honey. Response Bashny.Net

The war in Afghanistan. In addition to the military on the battlefield there are always those whose task is not to kill, but to save lives. And no matter the life of this soldier allies, a local resident or a thriller. This is no ordinary "first aid" is MERT - Medical Rapid Response Team (medical emergency response team). Doctors are calling, grabbed his bag and fled in a helicopter ready to take off. They are dressed like soldiers - form, helmets and weapons. Together with doctors on board the four soldiers, without protection is impossible. To fly the helicopter is not precisely known, they usually sit in the city, where they become a very attractive target. Speaking inside the helicopter can not be on the engines roar and the noise is accelerated by blades of air. They have their own signs - if the patch is shown on the British flag, then wounded a British soldier when put hands on the thigh - then hit the child, if put your hand to your head (as if saluting) - which means a US soldier. They do not have patients with colds, runny nose, or hypertension, their patients are on the verge of life and death, they call them the "challenge of category A".
