A complex and difficult medical procedure that ultimately failed might have contributed to the death of an American Special Forces soldier killed last year in a firefight in Somalia, according to an investigation into the episode obtained by The New York Times.
But despite the influx of resources in Somalia, where troops there had medical helicopters minutes away and drones orbiting above them, al-Shabaab militants still managed to organize a rapid and deadly attack that killed Conrad before they quickly disappeared back into the underbrush without detection.
Story continuesConrad was still breathing when he was loaded in a truck to rush him to the landing zone. Two HH-60 Pave Hawk helicopters, crewed by elite Air Force pararescue medics, were racing from a larger U.S. base outside the town of Kismayo, roughly 40 miles away. The helicopters arrived about 15 minutes after the Americans called for the medical evacuation.
To be sure, a cricothyrotomy in a combat zone is fraught with hazard and is often a last-ditch effort to help someone’s breathing. Even in a controlled environment, such as a hospital, the procedure is extremely challenging.
