After supporting the successful recovery of NASA’s Artemis II crew and the Orion spacecraft, U.S. Navy personnel, assigned to various expeditionary medicine teams, pose for a group photo aboard the amphibious transport dock USS John P. Murtha (LPD 26), April 11. The teams, which included En-Route Care System (ERCS) 2, 3, and 11, and Expeditionary Resuscitative Surgical System 14 (ERSS), comprised personnel from Navy Medicine commands and military medical treatment facilities across the Pacific Rim. The ERCS is a two-person team that provides medical care during transport of critically injured or ill stabilized patients via ground, surface, or air, and the ERSS is a seven-person mobile surgical and trauma team that provides life and limb-saving care close to the point of injury.
