The injured who are sent from Kandahar to Landstuhl—an American hospital in Germany—are people who need to be sent back to Canada. They have serious injuries and need to be sent home. Doctors in Kandahar make the decision. They send those requiring specialists' treatment that is not available in the theatre of operations. They might need to see a urologist, for example, or another specialist that we do not have in Kandahar.
Some other injured personnel are sent to Landstuhl and then return to the theatre of operations. However, for the majority of them, it is a stage in their journey back to Canada.
