Her husband immediately sought help from the Company Operating Base.

Mrs Nemneiting was evacuated to the Company Operating Base where she was administered with first aid to heal the injuries on her fore head as a result of the accident.
Mrs Nemneiting and her husband were extremely grateful to Sehlon Battalion for their efforts at a crucial time when it was needed the most.
