A Tenth Mountain Division medical team of five bandages the knee and hand of a woman wearing a checked jacket, wool skirt, wool socks and hiking boots. They work in an improvised operating room; instruments are laid out on a packing crate, and the operating table is a stretcher also suspended between packing crates. One team member holds a guaze bandage and scissors. One cuts the gauze of the woman's hand bandage as another holds her hand in place. Another bandages her ; knee while another holds her leg in place. A hanging lamp provides illumination and a row of lockers lines the wall behind them.
