    The image shows the interior cargo hold of a large military transport aircraft, likely a C-17 Globemaster III or similar heavy-lift aircraft. Personnel in both military uniforms and medical/protective gear (blue scrubs and white coveralls) are visible inside the aircraft, suggesting a medical evacuation or aeromedical mission. The cargo bay is loaded with equipment, litter systems, and what appear to be medical or logistical supplies.

    Flight nurses and critical care air transport team members assigned to the 43rd Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron from Pope Army Air Field, N.C., and 375th AES from Scott Air Force Base, Ill., prepare a Transport Isolation System for simulated Ebola patients during a TIS training exercise at Joint Base Charleston, S.C., October 23, 2019. The TIS is a device used to transport Ebola patients, either by C-17 Globemaster III or C-130 Hercules, while preventing the spread of disease to medical personnel and aircrews until the patient can get to one of three designated hospitals in the United States that can treat Ebola patients. JB Charleston is currently the only military installation with a TIS. The TIS mission is a sub-specialty of the aeromedical evacuation mission which requires frequent training to maintain readiness.
