    Military personnel in various uniforms are gathered on a tarmac or airfield apron for what appears to be a briefing or demonstration near a military helicopter. A speaker stands before a large group that includes personnel in both Navy working uniforms and Army/Marine camouflage patterns. Equipment is laid out on the ground between the speaker and the group, suggesting a weapons or equipment familiarization session.

    U.S. Marines, Sailors, and international military students observe a hoist rescue operation demonstration as part of Mountain Medicine 1-26 at Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center, Bridgeport, California, July 15, 2026. Hoist rescue operations train service members to integrate air and ground assets for casualty evacuation in mountainous terrain, improving survivability, preserving combat effectiveness, and ensuring units can continue mission execution. MMED 1-26 develops technical skills and operational proficiency to operate in austere environments while strengthening multinational interoperability and readiness for future global operations.

    Military personnel in various uniforms are gathered on a tarmac or airfield apron for what appears to be a briefing or demonstration near a military helicopter. A speaker stands before a large group that includes personnel in both Navy working uniforms and Army/Marine camouflage patterns. Equipment is laid out on the ground between the speaker and the group, suggesting a weapons or equipment familiarization session.
    A group of multinational military personnel are conducting a medical casualty training exercise on a tarmac or helipad. They are attending to a simulated casualty on a litter/stretcher in front of a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter marked with a red cross. The setting appears to be a mountainous region, likely during a joint military exercise.
    Military personnel from multiple service branches are gathered on a tarmac or helipad in a mountainous, arid environment. A UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter marked with a Red Cross symbol is visible in the background, indicating a medical evacuation (MEDEVAC) training exercise. An instructor in Army multicam uniform appears to be briefing a group of seated and kneeling service members.
    Four military personnel from what appear to be different nations or branches are standing together in front of a military helicopter, likely a UH-60 Black Hawk. The group includes individuals in U.S. Navy NWU (Naval Working Uniform), U.S. Marine Corps MARPAT, and German Bundeswehr Flecktarn camouflage patterns, suggesting a multinational military exercise or joint operation. A red rescue strop is visible inside the open helicopter door.
    Military personnel in camouflage uniforms are carrying a soldier on a stretcher toward or away from a military helicopter, likely a UH-60 Black Hawk. The scene appears to be a medical evacuation (MEDEVAC) exercise or operation conducted on a tarmac or airfield in a mountainous region. Personnel wearing different camouflage patterns suggest a multinational or joint-force operation.
    Military personnel in camouflage uniforms and red helmets are conducting a medical casualty evacuation (CASEVAC) training exercise on a tarmac or airfield. Several service members are attending to a simulated casualty on a litter/stretcher. A military helicopter is visible in the background, consistent with medevac operations training.
    Two military personnel in different branch uniforms are shaking hands on what appears to be a flight line or tarmac. The individual on the left wears U.S. Army OCP (Operational Camouflage Pattern) uniform with a flight helmet and tactical gear, while the individual on the right wears U.S. Marine Corps MARPAT (digital woodland) uniform. A military helicopter, consistent with a UH-60 Black Hawk, is visible in the background.
    Military personnel are conducting a medical evacuation (MEDEVAC) exercise on a tarmac or helipad in a mountainous region. A group of soldiers and what appears to be a Navy corpsman are carrying a litter (stretcher) toward a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter marked with a Red Cross symbol. The setting suggests a training exercise at a high-altitude airfield surrounded by arid mountain terrain.
    A group of military personnel in camouflage uniforms are gathered on what appears to be a tarmac or airfield, conducting a casualty evacuation or medical training exercise. Several individuals wearing colored helmets (red and white) are crouched over a litter/stretcher on the ground, while others stand observing. The setting appears to be a mountainous, high-altitude training facility.
    A group of military personnel, appearing to be U.S. Marines based on their MARPAT camouflage uniforms, are gathered closely together examining or working on equipment on a paved surface. Some personnel are wearing flight-style helmets with visors while others wear tactical combat helmets, suggesting a mixed team of aviators and ground forces. The scene appears to be a training exercise or operational preparation activity on what looks like a flight line or tarmac.
    Military personnel are conducting a helicopter landing zone (HLZ) or medevac training exercise on a tarmac or airstrip in a mountainous region. A UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter is hovering nearby while several service members in camouflage uniforms, some wearing colored helmets, are positioned on the ground. The setting appears to be a small airfield surrounded by arid mountain terrain.
    A military medical evacuation (MEDEVAC) helicopter, identifiable by the red cross markings on its fuselage, hovers in a blue sky while a soldier is being hoisted or rappelling on a cable below the aircraft. The helicopter appears to be an olive-drab colored UH-60 Black Hawk configured for medical operations. This appears to be either a training exercise or an active hoist rescue operation.
    A military medevac helicopter, identifiable by the red cross markings, is hovering in flight while a soldier rappels or is being hoisted on a rope below the aircraft. Additional personnel are visible in the open side door of the helicopter. The image appears to depict a medical evacuation or hoist training exercise.
    A military helicopter, consistent with a UH-60 Black Hawk, is hovering over a hilly, semi-arid landscape while a person is suspended below it on a rope or hoist line. The scene appears to depict a hoist or rappel operation, likely a training exercise or search-and-rescue demonstration. The background features rolling hills with sparse vegetation under a partly cloudy sky.
    A military medical helicopter, identifiable by the Red Cross markings, hovers over a paved landing area while a person is being hoisted or lowered via a cable. Several personnel on the ground appear to be managing the operation. The scene takes place in a mountainous, semi-arid landscape under partly cloudy skies.
    A military helicopter marked with a Red Cross symbol is performing a hoist rescue or medical evacuation operation, with a person suspended on a cable beneath the aircraft.
