    A group of U.S. Army soldiers in combat uniforms are conducting what appears to be a medical evacuation (MEDEVAC) training exercise. Two soldiers are carrying a simulated casualty on a litter/stretcher along a dirt path, while additional personnel and a military vehicle are visible in the background. The scene is consistent with a field training exercise (FTX) based on the controlled environment and training indicators.

    Army Reserve Soldiers, assigned to the 693rd Quartermaster Company, Bell, California, evacuate a casualty after an attack on their convoy during Combat Support Training Exercise 86-17-02 at Fort McCoy, Wisconsin, from August 5 – 25, 2017. Thousands of Army Reserve Soldiers joined service members from different service branches to train in a large-scale exercise focused on multi-echelon and multi-functional, realistic, tactical training to challenge and improve the proficiency of leader and collective tasks. One of the key focuses of the CSTX was to return to, and understand basic Soldier skills. The exercise moved Soldiers away from the sustainment lifestyle in forward operating bases, and Soldiers worked and lived in a more austere environment. Command Sgt. Maj. Ted Copeland, Command Sergeant Major, U.S. Army Reserve explained that moving Soldiers out of FOBs will develop them to become more mobile and agile and that it is necessary for survivability.
