Lt. Kaitlin Walter wraps an amputated leg on a high-fidelity manikin caused by a simulated improvised explosive device (IED) blast during a training evolution conducted by Naval Expeditionary Medicine Warfighter Development Center (NEMWDC) at Bravo 1 Range, Camp Pendleton, Dec. 16. Walter is an emergency room physician assistant with Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command (NMRTC) Camp Lejeune, N.C., who is set to deploy with the ERSS team in Spring 2025. Walter mentions “Flexibility is key because our team is so small. You have to hold multiple roles which puts us out of our comfort zone, so learning how to be flexible is the biggest thing I learned.”
