    A medical evacuation (MEDEVAC) or casualty transfer operation is being conducted between a helicopter and a naval vessel at sea. A person strapped to a red rescue stretcher/litter is being hoisted or lowered via cable from what appears to be a helicopter to the ship's deck. Personnel in blue coveralls and helmets on the ship's deck are managing guide ropes to control the transfer.

    PHILIPPINE SEA (Dec. 10, 2020) Naval Air Crewman (Helicopter) 2nd Class Robert Washington, from Birmingham, Mich., assigned to the “Island Knights” of Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 25, hoists a litter from an MH-60S Sea Hawk helicopter during training with French Loire-class tender, and support vessel FS Seine (A 604) to ensure both nations maintain proficiency in personnel recovery while out at sea. HSC-25, the Navy’s only forward-deployed expeditionary helicopter sea combat squadron, provides a multi-mission rotary wing capability for units in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations and maintains a Guam-based 24-hour search and rescue and medical evacuation capability, directly supporting the U.S. Coast Guard and Joint Region Marianas.

    A military aircrew member is leaning out of the open door of a helicopter flying low over open ocean water. The individual is wearing a flight helmet with visor, multicam/OCP pattern uniform, tactical gloves, and appears to be managing a hoist cable or rescue line. A warning placard is visible on the interior door panel, consistent with a search and rescue or hoist operations helicopter.
    An aerial photograph taken from another vessel or aircraft shows a large white multi-deck ship underway in open blue ocean waters. The ship features a prominent aft helicopter deck/landing pad and appears to be a research, support, or patrol vessel based on its configuration. The vessel is creating a visible wake as it moves through moderately choppy seas under a partly cloudy sky.
    The image shows the interior of a military helicopter with at least one crew member wearing a flight helmet and olive/gray flight suit. The cabin contains emergency and rescue equipment including brightly colored red and yellow gear bags, and a sign reading 'EMERGENCY EXIT PULL AFT' is visible on the fuselage wall. The aircraft appears to be in flight, with bright sky visible through the windows.
    A military aviator or rescue swimmer is suspended on a hoist cable over open ocean, visible from an elevated angle. The individual is wearing full flight gear including a helmet with visor, oxygen mask, flight suit, and survival equipment. The background shows churning blue-white ocean water far below, suggesting significant altitude above the sea surface.
    An aerial/overhead photograph shows two workers on what appears to be the deck of a ship or vessel. Both individuals are wearing matching blue coveralls, life vests, and hearing protection, suggesting an active maritime or industrial work environment. The image is taken from a significant height, likely from a crane or elevated structure above the deck.
    A medical evacuation (MEDEVAC) or casualty transfer operation is being conducted between a helicopter and a naval vessel at sea. A person strapped to a red rescue stretcher/litter is being hoisted or lowered via cable from what appears to be a helicopter to the ship's deck. Personnel in blue coveralls and helmets on the ship's deck are managing guide ropes to control the transfer.
    An aerial view from a helicopter shows a medical evacuation (MEDEVAC) or hoist rescue operation being conducted on the flight deck of a naval vessel. A rescue swimmer or corpsman is being lowered via hoist cable toward a patient secured on a red litter/stretcher on the ship's helipad. Two crew members in blue uniforms on the deck appear to be managing guide ropes to control the descent.
    A military helicopter is hovering over the deck of a naval vessel at sea, with a crew member on the ship's deck holding a hoist cable connected to a crew member or operator inside the helicopter above. The rotor wash is visibly churning the ocean surface below, creating a white spray pattern. This appears to be a hoist or vertical replenishment (VERTREP) operation conducted over open ocean.
