Corporal Jessica Freeland is a Medical Technician from Canadian Forces Health Services Centre (Moose Jaw). She has been a member of the Canadian Armed Forces for more than four years and currently deployed on Exercise Rim of the Pacific 2016.
Her duties include conducting patient assessments, emergency response, blood draws, preliminary medicals, sterilization of instruments, and assists with overall functionality of the clinic.
“I joined the Canadian Armed Forces because my grandpa was a Medical Technician, and I really wanted to follow in his footsteps,” said Freeland.
“RIMPAC has been a great experience where I have been able to apply my skills and knowledge while undertaking professional development in a completely different setting. I am also thankful for the opportunity to participate here on a team of support staff, and see all the excitement and teamwork in action on an international exercise of this size.”
Twenty-six nations, more than 40 ships and submarines, more than 200 aircraft and 25,000 personnel are participating in RIMPAC from June 30 to Aug. 4, in and around the Hawaiian Islands and Southern California. The world's largest international maritime exercise, RIMPAC provides a unique training opportunity that helps participants foster and sustain the cooperative relationships that are critical to ensuring the safety of sea lanes and security on the world's oceans. RIMPAC 2016 is the 25th exercise in the series that began in 1971. (Canadian Forces Combat Camera by Corporal Brett White-Finkle)
