Lt. Cmdr. Rachael Robeck, physician assistant assigned to Expeditionary Resuscitative Surgical System (ERSS) 15, based out of Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command (NMRTC) Camp Pendleton, provides simulated trauma care to a casualty during an ERSS training conducted by Naval Expeditionary Medicine Warfighter Development Center (NEMWDC) at Camp Pendleton, California, Dec. 16, 2025. The scenario replicates penetrating chest trauma and requires coordinated team-based care in a field environment. “Scenarios like this reinforce the importance of rapid assessment and decisive intervention when managing penetrating chest trauma in a field environment,” said Robeck. The ERSS 15 team is currently assigned to the Naval Strategic Health Alliance for Readiness and Performance (SHARP), a partnership with Penn Medicine that embeds active-duty Navy trauma personnel into Penn Presbyterian’s Level I trauma center. This initiative sustains combat casualty care skills and provides hands-on experience with complex civilian trauma.  (U.S. Navy photo by Petty Officer 1st Class Trevin Perry)
