U.S. Army Pvt. Angelo Vargas, a combat medic with the 528th Field Hospital, eats breakfast before the start of a field exercise and operational assessment, Fort Liberty, North Carolina, Nov. 2, 2023. Vargas, a native of Brooklyn, New York, enlisted in November 2022. During the operational assessment, medical developers with the U.S. Army Medical Materiel Development Activity (USAMMDA) and evaluators from the U.S. Army Medical Test and Evaluation Activity (USAMTEAC) joined the 36th Medical Company Area Support (MCAS) to test and assess the progress of the Ventway Sparrow Portable Resuscitator (VSPR) and the Prolonged Care Augmentation Detachment (PCAD) medical equipment set. The PCAD and VSPR are development programs designed to enable lifesaving and life prolonging combat casualty care at and near the front lines. USAMMDA and USAMTEAC routinely partner during medical device program development to ensure medical devices meet the high standards of U.S. Army medicine and enable joint force medical providers during both combat operations and training. USAMMDA, the U.S. Department of Defense's lead medical product development activity, develops new drugs, vaccines, devices, and medical support equipment designed to enhance Joint Force readiness and maximize survival of medical casualties on the battlefield.
