He's a civilian and would be treated differently than a soldier.
However a soldier transported to Balad is going to be evaluated for the severity of wounds, and for further evac to Germany. Balad is offically a combat zone, so it's not as if the significantly wounded are going to be kept there for any length of time. It's more of a "patch 'em up and ship 'em out" kind of place.
Mostly I think of Balad as a place where soldiers are stabilized enough so that they can make the 5-6 hour trip to Germany, for serious longer term care.
Thank you for your insight.
Balad is a field combat hosiptal...they will stablize you and ship you out right away.....hubby was at LSA Anaconda for 15mos...
