Casualty movement at dawn… Under the watchful gaze of Navy Medicine Readiness Training Command Bremerton Tactical Combat Casualty Care instructors, 315th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron personnel hone their medical response skills in treating traumatic injuries on the field of battle. The visiting Air Force personnel from Charleston Air Force Base, South Carolina, received intensive didactic module training before undergoing and completing their educational effort with actual hands-on application in the field.
