On Friday, 7 September, members of the 2/319 Field Artillery BDE, 82nd ABN DVN, Lab techs from the 432nd Blood Support Detachment, 44 MED BDE, and members of the Ft Bragg Blood Donor Center assist each other in the screening of Global Response Force (GRF) personnel to determine eligibility as Fresh Whole Blood donors.
