An injured Afghan National Arm soldier is rushed to a waiting medevac helicopter from the 101st Combat Aviation Brigade which arrived on scene after a van packed with explosives detonated beside a small joint outpost near the village of Sangsar, southern Afghanistan, Dec. 12, 2010. Six American soldiers were killed and more than a dozen American and Afghan soldiers were wounded in the explosion which blasted a large hole in a thick wall, causing the roof to collapse on those inside.
