Lt. Aure Stewart, a radiation health officer with the Navy Environmental Preventive Medicine Unit Two (NEPMU 2), attached to the Forward Deployable Preventive Medicine Unit One (FDPMU 2) educates participants about a device that can locate and identify radioactive isotopes, during the annual Trident Exercise, Jun. 5, 2024, on Joint Expeditionary Base – Little Creek, Virginia Beach, Virginia. Radioactive can be natural or manmade for example, isotopes of radium, thorium, and uranium, are found naturally in rocks and soil. Trident is a joint-maritime exercise designed to certify and validate training that is focused on key areas for special operations and conventional forces to work together effectively. During the exercise, Navy Medicine delivered agile, scalable, trained, and certified medical units to provide enduring support to the Fleet, Fleet Marine Force, and Joint Forces in high-end competition, crisis, and combat.
