Description
Commander Hamish Foster of 2nd Health Support Battalion (2HSB) (right), chief surgeon of the new First Aid Health Facility at Camp RAMSI, simulates an operation during a casualty exercise. He is assisted by unidentified members of 2HSB. The operating theatre and intensive care unit were housed in Brunswick shelters. The new field hospital, 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 the Regional Assistance Mission to the Solomon Islands (RAMSI). It also provided medical treatment to locals and to RAMSI personnel. Camp RAMSI, located at the former Guadalcanal Beach Resort near Honiara, was the main operational base for RAMSI police and military forces.
