Combat medics and Haitian medical volunteers treat patients at the forward operating base set up by U.S. Army soldiers in Port-au-Prince, Haiti Jan. 18, 2010. The soldiers are assigned to the 82nd Airborne's 1st Squadron, 73rd Cavalry Squadron. The squadron does not have the supplies to establish a clinic, but soldiers are seeing patients at the base with the supplies they have. They are looking for additional resources such as area clinics, where they can send the more critical patients.
