ABC夏季档新剧《战地医院》(CombatHospital，原名TheHotZone)首播前，ABC放出了一段1分多钟的前瞻预告。故事开始于RebeccaGordon少校和BobbyTrang上尉抵达了阿富汗南部的战事前线。由MichelleBorth饰演的Rebecca是一名顶级的创伤外科医生，她很期望能够在战地医院证明自己，不过她发现，在真正的战场，有许多东西是在书本和手册上未经提及的。特瑞·陈饰演BobbyTrang，他到达后立刻就被派去深入前线，成为创伤组组长。而加拿大军队战地医院的管理者则是伊莱亚斯·科泰斯饰演的XavierMarks上校。出色的英国神经外科医生SimonHill(卢克·梅伯利饰演)是在医院里唯一的非军方医疗职员，而WillRoyal(ArnoldPinnock饰演)中校则是护士长。
