He was deployed to Iraq in 2005, where he commanded 133<br />
soldiers spread throughout the country.<br />
“In Iraq, we were the third medical unit on the ground so our<br />
mission was changed to providing in-hospital level two-plus trauma<br />
care and convoy escort teams. My doctors, my nurses, my dentist<br />
and a few specialized medics remained in the hospital on base to<br />
provide care,” Cannon said. “<strong>The</strong> remainder of the medics with<br />
our supply section had to retrain and refit to, quite frankly, do the<br />
toughest job: run gun trucks from southern Iraq to Baghdad every<br />
three to five days. We were also assigned a patrol section of our<br />
perimeter ‘outside the wire.’”<br />
<strong>The</strong> escorts and patrols were very difficult missions for trained<br />
personnel. We had two to three weeks to retrain, refit and execute<br />
missions.”<br />
Cannon’s unit spent 16 months in Iraq.<br />
“WE DID AN OUTSTANDING JOB WITH OUR MISSIONS. WE BROUGHT<br />
EVERYBODY HOME. A FEW GOT HURT, BUT EVERYBODY CAME HOME ALIVE.”<br />
