While stationed at Fort Drum, the four combat medical specialists had just arrived for an instructional session at a weapon training center when a nearby motorist stopped and yelled for help. She told them that her baby wasn’t breathing. Using their extensive training, the medics quickly assessed the baby’s condition and then worked collectively to restore the infant’s breathing. The breaths were initially faint, but their sustained efforts brought breathing levels to normal. They also comforted the concerned parents, assuring them that their baby was ok.
