Accident interrupts class
The1 right time happened When
the medics were called Upon to
render first aid to a motorcycle
accident victim recently.
“I was getting ready to give a
class during ‘Sergeant’s time’ on
how to treat and prevent shock”
said Sgt. James Carr emergency
treatment NCO 502nd Supt Bn.
“And I was getting ready to give a
class on applying a sling” added

HAVING A motorcycle accident
happen during the medical class
brought realism to the class and
the medics handled the emergency
as part of their training. “There
wasn’t much talking. Everyone
just ran to the scene” Guany said.
“Everyone stopped and im-
mediately went to work” Carr ex-
plained. Everything just fell into
order. Guany and Spc. Michael
Master Sgt. Ramon Moreno (L) arid Sgt. Gerald
Williams 47th MEDSOM are at DACH repairing an
infusion pump which is used to give fluid to
patients in trauma areas.

The main body of the 410th Military Police
Company 720th MP Battalion 89th MP Bri-
gade redeployed from Panama via MAC flight
early Friday evening.
THE ENTIRE company with the exception
of their cooks (most of whom are now RE-
FORGER bound) provided law and order pro-
tection for U.S. forces and installations in
Panama for four months. This is the third time
the 410th has deployed to that region of the
world as part of their Forces Command rota-
tion.
Arriving in Panama this past April the MPs
were fired upon while pulling area security
during their first week “in country” according’
to company 1st Sgt. William DuPaul. The
MPs who were protecting dependent housing"
against theft and vandalism returned fire but’
experienced no casualties during the brief con-.'
frontation. 'i
The state of the Panamanian economy has*
prompted many of that country’s citizens to
steal everything from motor oil to washers and
dryers. -r.
“Panamanians can take anything and make
something useful out of it” said DuPaul.
BUT THE 410th was just as resourceful
adopting 21 speed mountain bikes to pull
installation security. According to Sgt. Welford
Wenk company training NCO the MPs traded
in their vehicles and woodlawn greens' for-
bicycles and PT uniforms. Armed with 9mms'
on stripped pistol belts they caught many
trespassers and would-be thieves unaware.
In addition to their law and order mission
the 410th performed drop zone security acted
as a quick reaction force guarded enemy
prisoners of war and went on a three-day fields
training exercise on the “Atlantic” side of th ekS
country.

marks a significant event
the history of the battalion.
The 1st Bn 5th Avn Regt
represents one of the last ac-
tive component units to un-
dergo the transition from AH-1
Cobras to the AH-64 Apache.
With the graduation of 1st Bn
5th Avn Regt every heavy di-
vision in the Army now owns
at least one Apache battalion.
During the past two years
soldiers from the battalion
were preparing for the conver-
sion. Many of the battalion’s
soldiers had to get more school-
ing to support the flying and
aircraft aintenance. Old
Cobra-related equipment had
to be turned in and many piec-
es of ground support equip-
ment were also exchanged.
