Zachary Cannon joined the Navy to get trained as a radiology tech, a skill he might use to get a job and support his family after his enlistment. But the needs of the Navy take top priority, and far to his wonder, he was given orders to the Fleet Marine Drive as a corpsman to the infantry battalion deploying to Iraq. As part of a rifle squad in Ramadi, Zach joins the Marines on patrol, in assaults, and on security obligation, facing the same potential issues and hardships. Ramadi is a hotbed of insurgent activity in 2006, and Zach's medical skills are put to the test as he witnesses fatality and injuries. Faced with snipers, full insurgent attacks, IEDs, rockets and mortars, and the never-ending heating, he cannot be a straightforward observer, there to take care of his Marines. Navy or not, he quickly realizes that he's expected to be a full member of his squad, a battle corpsman.
