Soldiers at Fort Carson made history this month by becoming the first active-duty unit to set up and test the field hospital — Army Medicine’s modernized, modular update to the well- known Combat Support Hospital. The Soldiers were assigned to the former 10th CSH, which became the Army’s first unit to convert to the field hospital design in June. In a move to make battlefield care more expedi tionary, the conversion reconfigured the 248-bed 10th CSH into a smaller, more modular 32-bed field hospital with the capabil- ity of three additional augmentation detachments including a 24-bed surgical detachment, a 32-bed medical detach- Courtesy photo ment and a 60-bed Intermediate Care Ward detachment. all categories of patients, including resuscitation, initial This aerial view shows the 10th ield ospital, 627th The newly established 10th Field Hospital and wound surgery, damage control surgery and postopera- ospital Center, and augmentation detachments set up its augmentation detachments now operate under the tive treatment.

Reality and sports met head on Saturday outside of Fort Carson’s Gate 1, as veterans, retirees and concerned community members gathered for a 114-mile motorcycle ride and a 5-kilometer run to bring awareness and prevention to a nationwide suicide issue. The Army Substance Abuse Program and Suicide Prevention Program hosted the Fort Carson Motorcycle Poker Run as part of its annual Suicide Prevention Month campaign. The event began with Cherll Paxton, Fort Carson suicide prevention program manager, thanking all the agencies and programs supporting the event. She said the theme for this year is “#bethere.” She challenged everyone to remember the theme, promote it and be active supporting it. “Go out and meet someone new and understand that being lonely is hard and somewhere none of us want to be,” Paxton said. “Listen to a new person’s story and be there for your Family and friends as well. We always think that everyone is doing great, but you won’t really know if you don’t ask.” Command Sgt. Maj. Timothy Metheny, 4th Infantry Division and Fort Carson, welcomed attendees and shared why the event was important to him. “I’m the last thing standing between you and a great motorcycle ride or (physical training) event, so I just want Above: John Polk to thank you on behalf of Maj.
