In the premiere of this medical procedural drama set in a military hospital in Afghanistan, doctors and nurses from allied countries provide surgical care to troops. First up: Maj. Gordon and Capt. Trang report for duty and deal with rocket attacks, flying shrapnel and waves of wounded troops.

Rebecca and Bobby operate on a severely wounded soldier, and the blood supply dwindles; Simon runs into an old flame, a photojournalist who sparks his interest anew; Marks names Rebecca as morale officer; and Vans discovers a new talent.
