Anthony Lachat, an aerospace medical technician with the 673d Expeditionary Medical Group, both out of Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, hang a one-liter bag of hypertonic saline fluid to treat a simulated massive head injury during a mass casualty exercise as part of Exercise Agile Reaper 24-1 at Tinian spoke, Northern Mariana Islands, April 16, 2024. The mass casualty exercise was designed to emphasize precedence of patient care in an austere environment by providing a scenario to stress the small medical team and support personnel with an overwhelming number of patients and injury patterns that exceeded the medical facility’s immediate capabilities and resources to provide care. Approximately 800 U.S. Air Force Airmen flew, maintained and supported 29 aircraft operating at five disaggregated locations during AR 24-1. The exercise employed combat-representative roles and processes to deliberately target all participants as a training audience and stress the force’s capability to generate combat air power in an expeditious manner across the Indo-Pacific Region.
