Air Force Senior Airman Tanya Rego, a medic with the 102nd Medical Group from Fall River, Mass., performs triage for a role player acting as a victim of a chemical attack during a search and extraction training exercise here on Camp Hartell Monday June 10, 2013. Search and extraction, which is a part of rescue and recovery operations, is one of the many aspects of training that Rego along with other soldiers and airmen from the Massachusetts National Guard here at Camp Hartell will perform during a Homeland Response Force training exercise. Soldiers and airmen from the 101st Engineer Battalion, the 179th and 180th Fire Detachments, 272nd Chemical Company, and the 102nd and 104th Medical Groups will go over the proper ways to conduct rescue and recovery, decontamination, and medical operations during a massive casualty event. These units, along with the 79th Troop Command, which provides command and control assets, make up the Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, Environmental (CBRNE), Enhanced Response Force Package or CERF-P. The CERF-P's mission is to provide assistance to local and state authorities during both natural and man-made disasters. (U.S. Army National Guard photo by Spc.
