Units of the US Army Medical Corps in combat areas perform their duties under extreme

Units of the US Army Medical Corps in combat areas perform their duties under extreme difficulties. Here an emergency operation is being performed in a dug out located deep in the jungle of Bougainville Island in the South west pacific region.
It is dug about four feet below the surface, the sides are built up with sandbags and it is roofed with heavy logs. The entire structure is covered with a pyramidal tent, shielding the occupants from the tropical sun.
