Description

Members of 2nd Health Support Battalion during a casualty simulation exercise at the new First Aid Health Facility at Camp RAMSI. Nursing officer Major Dominic Wade, and an unidentified soldier, take notes, and another unidentified soldier prepares a syringe. Camp RAMSI, located at the former Guadalcanal Beach Resort near Honiara, was the main operational base for the police and military forces of the Regional Assistance Mission to the Solomon Islands (RAMSI). The new field hospital, which had opened that day, was constructed by members of 3rd Combat Engineer Regiment (3CER). It replaced HMAS Manoora as the primary online medical treatment facility for Operation Anode, Australia’s military contribution to RAMSI. It also provided medical treatment to locals and to RAMSI personnel.
