Capt. Lisa Causey cares for a litter patient on board a C-130 Hercules April 2 in Southwest Asia. She and four other medics and the C-130 aircrew made a 15-hour flight to four cities in Iraq and one air base in the Middle East. They airlifted 19 patients, 16 of whom were ambulatory, to the Persian Gulf, where most of the patients were transferred to a C-17 Globemaster III headed for Germany. Captain Causey is a 379th Expeditionary Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron second flight nurse. She is an Air National Guard member deployed from the 183rd Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron from Jackson, Miss. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Carolyn Viss)
