Marine heat casualty is hoisted into a CH-46 during Operation Lancaster II

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Med Evac - A Marine hangs from a hoist of a Sea Knight helicopter during operations supporting Lancaster II near the Demilitarized Zone. The intense heat, steep hills, and thick undergrowth took their toll in Marine heat casualties which were evacuated for medical attention. Hoists were used to extract Marine casualties and heat victims because the large transport helicopters could not safely land in the rough terrain. 09/20/1968; III MAF [3rd Marine Amphibious Force) Photo 1-001507-0068; Photo by Staff Sergeant Jerry M.
