Evans Army Community Hospital tested its emergency response capabilities, as part of Mountain Medic 2024, a U.S. Northern Command joint readiness exercise involving both active and reserve medical forces from the Army, Air Force and Space Forces in the Colorado Springs community. EACH participation in the readiness exercise involved reception of exercise casualties from a simulated dirty bomb attack that resulted in twelve exercise patients being transported to EACH. Upon arrival, the emergency department, in conjunction with the Decontamination (DECON) Team, exercised DECON procedures, followed by assessments of the patients’ injuries to determine appropriate levels of care, and provide emergency care.
