    First responders from the Mexican states of Jalisco and Michoacán practice rescuing a victim as part of a week-long water search and rescue training exercise in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, March 21, 2017. Training included 20 first responders from Mexico, members of the U.S. Public Health Service and interagency coordination specialists from U.S. Northern Command. First responders performed techniques such as how to quickly assess and classify victims in a mass casualty situation, tie rope and webbing, and improvise an anchor on shore if needed to bring a victim to safety.

    The image shows personnel wearing navy blue uniforms, with a close-up focus on a U.S. Public Health Service patch dated 1798 on the right sleeve. In the background, individuals appear to be handling yellow tape or cordoning material. The depth of field keeps the patch in sharp focus while the background figures are blurred.

They are gathered in a circle around a yellow rescue stretcher (spine board) with a simulated victim lying on it. The scene appears to be a structured training drill with an instructor demonstrating proper rescue and patient handling techniques.
