This fast-paced 1980s promo for the United States National Guard profiles the AMEDD, or Army Medical Department. The promo shows a Mobile Army Surgeon’s Hospital operating in simulated combat conditions during an annual training exercise, while cross-cutting to show that these doctors and nurses normally work in a civilian hospital. Dr. Henry Sanchez is featured. At 1:32, a nurse named Sandy Robertson is shown working in a surgical center, and then at the portable hospital. At 2:05, another doctor is shown working for the National Guard. At 2:27, a Huey helicopter moves wounded as a flying ambulance. At 3:00, surgeons work in the portable hospital’s operating room. At 3:37, triage is shown outside the hospital tents. At 4:00, the EMT or operating room is shown.
