Capt. Charles A. Nassar, of Sterling Heights, Mich., officer-in-charge of the combat engineer detachment, and Lt. Col. Nelson S. Cardella, commanding officer of Black Sea Rotational Force 11, join Romanian Navy Rear Adm. Alexandru Mirsu, fleet commander, and Romanian Navy Capt. Cristinel Uce, Romanian director, BSRF-11, in cutting the ribbon for the new helipad at the Constanta County Hospital on Sept. 9. Combat engineers with Black Sea Rotational Force 11 contracted with Romanian excavation specialist to then build a helipad for Constanta County Hospital that will alleviate flight time for patients to the emergency room and help to save more lives by getting casualties prompt and rapid medical care. The landing pad was part of the engineer’s last community relations project for the country before they depart back to the states this month.
