Petty Officer 2nd Class Gabriel Besa, a Navy hospital corpsman with Special Purpose Marine Air Ground Task Force South, and a native of Pearland, Texas, instructs on proper needle decompression during a combat lifesaver course aboard the future amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA 6), July 30, 2014. When performing aid on a punctured lung, needle decompression is used to release positive pressure in the injured lung. The course was given to prepare the Marines for their bi-lateral training in Brazil. Bi-lateral training with our partners develops, maintains and strengthens the relationships that facilitate the cooperation needed in the event of a crisis requiring a multinational effort. SPMAGTF-South is currently embarked aboard America on her maiden transit, “America Visits the Americas”. The ship is scheduled to be commissioned in San Francisco, Oct. 11.
