             "The unit shown and its members have been ordered to active
       duty... 11
             So begin the orders calling the 807th Surgical Hospital
       (Mobile Army) of Paducah, Kentucky to active federal service with
       the United States Army as it participates in operation 'TDESERT
       SHIELD".    COL Bradford Mutchler, M.D. was called to accept the
       challenge of leading the original 188 members of the unit into
       the unknown. These people will leave behind all that was
       important in their lives: family, friends, positions and
       occupations. Ahead of them lies, for most, the greatest challenge
       of their lives. Important questions nagged at even thd most
       confident among them. Can we do this job? Will things be the way
       our training teaches us they will be?
             The following is an account of the joys and sorrows, trials
       and tribulations, achievements and, yes, even the errors of this
       unit. We dedicate it to the unsung heroes of our deployment: the
       family and friends who supported us from home. No medal can
       reward their courage and loyalty.
