The first priority when attacked is to kill or neutralize the enemy and then proceed to take care of the injured. Here, MOT-chief Andreas returns fire after gunfire erupts following an IED ambush.

Jesper, deputy chief of the MOT, has been injured. Stefan is the first help to arrive, and holds Jesper's legs up high in order to counteract shock.

Andreas and his interpreter John pull him back to safety.

Once they arrive at the helicopter LZ, the group's medic Thomas checks to see if Jesper has any more injuries.

To prevent his blood pressure from falling to dangerous levels, Ivar, who was also injured during the attack, receives Rescue Flow - a special fluid which replaces the blood volume that has been lost.

Stefan exchanges a few words with the medic, who organized the exercise.

MEDEVAC is delayed, and the situation for the two injured is getting more and more critical.

BANG! Without knowing what hit him, one of the soldiers from the Provincial Office (who arrived earlier as reinforcements) is suddenly hit. His comrades pull him back to safety.

After a quick examination it appears that he was lucky, the bullet hit him in the left shoulder and the injury doesn't appear to be very serious.
The team is told that the helicopter can't land because of the heavy fog, and that they'll have to get to the field hospital by themselves. The injured are quickly loaded into the vehicles - they don't have much time. In a live situation, they would've driven full speed ahead and made their way toward the Norwegian field hospital located in Mazar-e-Sharif, but since this is only practice, the exercise is halted. Next stop is the Provincial Office where the MOT can discuss what went well during the event and what could be improved upon.
