Army Dr. (Maj.) Neil Vining, an orthopedic surgeon with the 160th Forward Surgical Team, performs surgery Thursday on a patient suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome while Spc. Paul Murphy, an operating room technician, looks on. While it may appear as if the soldiers are operating in a permanent hospital, they are actually working in several field tents during a seven-day field training exercise for the 212th Combat Support Hospital.
