U.S. Navy Sailors assigned to Navy Medicine Readiness Training Command San Diego participate in a mass casualty drill aboard the Freedom-class littoral combat ship USS Fort Worth (LCS-3) during Mercy Exercise (MERCEX) 26-3 in San Diego, June 17, 2026. The quarterly exercise enhanced integration and readiness between Reduced Operating Status (ROS) and Full Operating Status (FOS) Sailors, improving operational effectiveness and ensuring the Navy remains prepared to deliver expeditionary medical support whenever and wherever mission requirements demand. NMRTC San Diego supports Navy and Marine Corps readiness by ensuring its medical forces are ready to deploy and provide medical support, ashore or at sea.
