The wounded Marine hit in the neck was the corpsman, and just off screen another Marine had been shot in the head. Thanks to the quick work of their team, they explained that they had both made full recoveries from their injuries.

At 2:14 in the video you can see a perfect example of what needs to be done to actually stop the bleeding of a gunshot wound. The gauze is packed deep into the wound channel left by the 7.62 round, which does far more to control bleeding than just applying pressure externally.

At 2:24 another Marine calls out that “Bumpy is hit in the head”. Without giving it a second thought, the wounded corpsman tells the guys working on him to leave him, and “go help bumpy”.

Awesome job, Doc. Noticed that the Medivac was Army/Air Force. Great job to them also. We had Army medivac flying for us in Iraq, from Lonestar Dustoff. They were phenomenal and my boys and I can never thank them enough for what they did for us. I learned alot by dealing with them. Toss the smoke, they land on the smoke. USMC, toss the smoke they land where they want, but you can bet it will be over there somewhere. One thing that threw me off with Lonestar was they always asked me what color the smoke was instead of calling the smoke they saw. We got over it though. The pilots and medics were amazing. Semper Fidelis

Even hit he's still triaging the situation - good to hear both made it.
