The vehicle was then flipped from one end to the other and landed upside down. Cpl Cline and his crew were eventually afforded the ability to evacuate the truck. The entire crew was pulled to safety. Cpl Cline and his crew were taken into the STP (Shock Trauma Platoon) where they were stabilized and packaged for transport to a larger Med center. After they were stable and in beds at Camp Dwyer, AFG, they evacuated the rest of his crew for further treatment in Germany; leaving behind Cpl Cline and his Driver.

Cpl Cline and all of his crew received blunt force trauma to the head and sustained concussions in addition to other injuries; however Cpl. Cline and his Driver were the luckiest two of his crew. It is undecided when he will return to duty. Cpl. Cline is concerned about his crew members and asks for prayers they all have a rapid and full recovery. He says he can’t wait to get back and his boys and soon looking forward to being back in the Blessed Republic of Texas...HOME SWEET HOME!

Cpl Cline has returned stateside, to Ft Sam Houston in San Antonio Texas and is receiving care at Brooks Medical Center.  He and his team are together and relying on support of each other, family, and of course the extended family that has come to show tremendous support. We look forward to keeping you posted on his improvement.
