    A team of rescue workers or firefighters in tan/khaki uniforms are conducting a technical rescue operation, working to stabilize and extract from a collapsed or damaged structure. Multiple personnel are visible using shoring equipment, struts, and ropes to manage debris including wooden planks and what appears to be a white vehicle or panel. The scene shows coordinated urban search and rescue (USAR) operations with specialized equipment.

    PERRY, Ga. - Marines with technical rescue and motor transport section, Chemical Biological Incident Response Force, CBIRF, prepare to reinforce a trench using plywood and gas struts in order to extract a simulated victim stuck inside a crashed vehicle, during Exercise Scarlet Response 2016 at Guardian Centers, Perry, Ga., Aug. 22, 2016. This exercise is the unit’s capstone event, testing the levels of each individual CBIRF capability with lane training and culminating with a 36-hour simulated response to a nuclear detonation. CBIRF is an active duty Marine Corps unit that, when directed, forward-deploys and/or responds with minimal warning to a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or high-yield explosive (CBRNE) threat or event in order to assist local, state, or federal agencies and the geographic combatant commanders in the conduct of CBRNE response or consequence management operations, providing capabilities for command and control; agent detection and identification; search, rescue, and decontamination; and emergency medical care for contaminated personnel.
