A group of U.S. Naval Sea Cadets wait in a life raft as they recieve an exposure training to what Sailors must endure as part of water survival training from an instructor at Aviation Survival Training Center (ASTC)-Pensacola as part of a first-ever aerospace advanced medical training (AVMT) held from July 28 to August 3. The inaugural AVMT class 2401 received over 32 hours of instruction in International Trauma Life Support (ITLS) curriculum from Search and Rescue (SAR) Flight Medics. Modeled after the Navy’s Flight Medic Course, cadets learned patient assessment, basic and advanced lifesaving interventions, in-flight emergency care, and critical care management to treat patients while on rotary or tilt wing aircraft. Cadets also got a taste of the SAR Fitness Test and what it takes to be a SAR Medical Technician (SMT). The Navy Medicine Operational Training Command (NMOTC) is the Navy’s leader in operational medicine and trains specialty providers for aviation, surface, submarine, expeditionary, and special operations communities. With five detachments, 12 training centers, and facilities in over 60 locations across the United States, NMOTC provides high impact individual medical training for the Navy, other U.S. armed forces, and allied nations around the globe.

Navy Medicine Readiness Training Unit Bangor staff rapidly responded to a [mock] earthquake, Oct. 17, 2024. The exercise scenario – held in conjunction with Commander Naval Installations Command Citadel Rumble and Operation Dynamo 2024 – provided the opportunity for the branch health clinic to test a handful of objectives which are considered crucial during any actual seismic event. Clinic personnel were able to effectively test their collective capability to drop, cover and hold; evacuated all personnel, achieve 100 percent accountability of all those evacuated; provide triage to injured appropriately, and readily exchange timely communication with each other throughout the drill (Official Navy photo by Douglas H Stutz, NHB/NMRTC Bremerton public affairs officer).
