U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Catalino Escalona, 81st Aerospace Medicine Squadron flight and operational medical technician, watches a UH-72 Lakota helicopter take off during an exercise at Keesler Air Force Base, Mississippi, Feb. 27, 2020. The 81st Medical Group and the Mississippi Army National Guard worked together for an exercise, PATRIOT South, which involved transporting patients, in response to a simulated hurricane, from the Keesler Medical Center to the flightline where they would be airlifted to the Combat Readiness Training Center in Gulfport, Mississippi. “Exercises like this gives Keesler the opportunity to shape planning, assess and validate capabilities and address areas for improvement, making dragon medics more resilient during crisis situations,” said Matthew Jalufka, 81st MDG medical emergency manager.
