Injuries to the Guard members ranged from cuts and bruises to traumatic brain injuries, but 34 of the injured were able to return to duty, Arizona Guard spokeswoman Capt. Erin Hannigan

Three injured service members were expected to arrive at Ramstein Air Base, Germany, on a U.S. Air Force Aeromedical Evacuation flight Tuesday evening and be transferred to nearby Landstuhl Regional Medical Center.

One of the injured service members is reported in critical condition, however, all three are reported to be stable, DEMA said.

After further examination by the center’s trauma team, a determination will be made by medical staff if any of the injured servicemembers will require evacuation back to the U.S. for further treatment.

Landstuhl Regional Medical Center is the largest U.S. Department of Defense hospital outside the continental U.S, serving as the sole military medical center and only forward-stationed evacuation and treatment center for more than 205,000 health care beneficiaries throughout Europe…

It's apparently on the regular rotation. A young friend in the reserves was deployed there for 9 months about six years ago.

This was not supposed to happen after we gave them the what for. Am I the only one who feels like things are about to spiral out of control?

Oh good - a bunch of fatso Nat Guard in Jordan as a tripwire whenever Israel is attacked.

Yellow-eyed war goons on FR love it all - can’t wait to start bombing.

Maybe FRs war goons can go burn, painfully, in hell.. where they belong.

“What the hell is the AZ guard doing in Jordan?”

Because Biden doesn’t want them at the border.

The national guard does exchange programs where we train and work with friendly nations. The NG, both army and Air Force branches, have worked with Jordan for over 30 years. How far back I don’t know. I just remember attending an event with the crown prince, now king, in attendance that was partly a celebration of the Jordan-USA alliance and the partnership program.
And yes I believe are good allies of the US, not perfect, but good.

Worth highlighting. Again and again.

And in parallel the "official" public debt has reached $34.199 trillion, RISING rapidly.

Rotation, probably 6 to 9 month deal. They get retirement ‘points’, haz-duty pay, war-zone tax credit.
