YOKOSUKA, Japan (March 11, 2026) — U.S. Naval Hospital (USNH) Yokosuka and Japan Self-Defense Force (JSDF) Hospital Yokosuka medical personnel conduct simulated surgical procedures using a “cut suit” training system during a bilateral mass casualty drill at USNH Yokosuka. The wearable simulator replicates complex trauma injuries, allowing teams to practice incision, hemorrhage control, and coordinated surgical response in a realistic environment. USNH Yokosuka and JSDF Hospital Yokosuka conducted the drill to enhance joint medical response capabilities and lifesaving procedures in support of a free and open Indo-Pacific.
