    A military service member in camouflage uniform and face mask works alongside a large aluminum-framed, plastic-enclosed medical isolation unit, likely an Aeromedical Biological Containment System (ABCS) used for transporting infectious patients aboard military aircraft. Medical equipment including monitors and infusion pumps is arranged on the floor in front of the unit. The setting appears to be the interior of a military transport aircraft.

    Capt. Naomi King, 628th Operational Medical Readiness Squadron infectious disease team lead, reviews COVID-19 cleaning procedures with Airmen in the Transport Isolation System at Joint Base Charleston, S.C., April 5, 2020. The TIS is an infectious disease containment unit designed to minimize risk to aircrew and medical attendants, while allowing in-flight medical care for patients affected by contagions like COVID-19. MEDCREW, a combination of Aeromedical Evacuation flight nurses and technicians, Critical Care Air Transport teams, Infectious Disease specialists and TIS support team members, participated in multi-day training at JB Charleston to focus on patient movement using the TIS. The training involved learning how to don and doff personal protective equipment specific to COVID-19, preparing patients for evacuation, loading and unloading patients from the TIS, and configuring the C-17 Globemaster III for patient movement.

    Two military personnel in camouflage uniforms are working inside what appears to be a military aircraft or helicopter configured for medical evacuation (MEDEVAC). A patient on a litter/stretcher is secured inside a transparent plastic isolation enclosure, suggesting a contamination control or infectious disease transport setup. One soldier is crouching to secure equipment while another stands near the rear of the compartment.
    Two individuals wearing full personal protective equipment (PPE), including hooded suits, face shields, and blue gloves, are inside what appears to be a military aircraft or specialized containment facility. One person appears to be assisting the other with their protective gear near a white containment unit or isolation pod. The setting suggests a medical or biohazard response scenario, likely related to infectious disease containment.
    Military medical personnel in full personal protective equipment (PPE) are conducting what appears to be a training exercise on an airfield tarmac near the open rear ramp of a large military transport aircraft.
