    A group of military personnel in camouflage uniforms are conducting what appears to be a medical evacuation or casualty handling exercise on an airfield tarmac. Several soldiers are carrying stretchers with training mannequins/simulated casualties, while others observe or participate in the drill. A white cargo van is parked nearby, likely serving as a support vehicle for the exercise.

    U.S. Airmen assigned to multiple Air National Guard (ANG) units across the U.S. participate in a simulated mass casualty exercise as they load simulated patients onto a C-130J Hercules aircraft during Patriot 26 at Volk Field Combat Readiness Training Center (CRTC), Wisconsin, Aug. 26, 2026. Patriot 26, an ANG-hosted exercise taking place at Volk Field CRTC, brings together approximately 1,000 Airmen and Soldiers from National Guard units across 35 states, along with federal, state and local agencies, to enhance domestic response readiness and interagency coordination during large-scale emergencies.

    GALLERY

    A male military aviator in an olive green flight suit stands on or near the wing of a military aircraft on a flight line. He is wearing aviator sunglasses and has multiple patches visible on his flight suit, including what appears to be a U.S. Air National Guard unit patch. In the background, at least one C-130 Hercules transport aircraft marked 'U.S. AIR FORCE' is visible on the tarmac.
    The image is taken from inside the cargo hold of a military transport aircraft, looking toward the open rear ramp. A person stands silhouetted against the bright exterior light, overseeing the loading of a large tan/beige military cargo container. A ground support vehicle with an operator is visible outside, positioned to load or unload the container.
    The image shows the interior of a military cargo aircraft, viewed from the rear looking toward the open aft ramp. A single person in gray flight suit or coveralls is walking toward a large pale-yellow cargo container positioned at the ramp opening. The scene appears to be during a loading or inspection operation on an airfield.
    The interior of a military cargo aircraft shows a large tan/brown equipment container secured on the cargo floor. A person wearing a military flight suit is standing at the container's double doors, appearing to inspect or access it. The aircraft interior features characteristic insulated walls, red cargo straps/nets, and a roller-equipped cargo floor with tie-down tracks.
    A black Verizon Frontline-branded off-road UTV (side-by-side vehicle) is being unloaded from a large military-style cargo aircraft on a tarmac. A bearded man is seated in the driver's seat, while another person stands in the background photographing the scene. The setting appears to be an airfield on a partly cloudy day, suggesting a disaster response or emergency deployment operation.
    A Salvation Army Emergency Disaster Services vehicle is being loaded into or unloaded from a large military cargo aircraft, likely a C-130 Hercules. The red vehicle bears the text 'HOPE IS ON THE WAY' and the Salvation Army shield logo on its rear doors. A person in military-style clothing is kneeling on the cargo ramp, likely guiding the vehicle's positioning.
    A group of military personnel in camouflage uniforms are conducting what appears to be a medical evacuation or casualty handling exercise on an airfield tarmac. Several soldiers are carrying stretchers with training mannequins/simulated casualties, while others observe or participate in the drill. A white cargo van is parked nearby, likely serving as a support vehicle for the exercise.
    The image shows the interior of a military transport aircraft configured for aeromedical evacuation, with multiple litter (stretcher) stanchion systems loaded with medical training mannequins. At least two military personnel in OCP (Operational Camouflage Pattern) uniforms are working on the floor and near the litter systems, appearing to conduct a training exercise. The aircraft interior features a red cargo net partition, treadway floor panels with tie-down rings, and medical equipment mounted along the fuselage walls.
    Military personnel in MultiCam/OCP camouflage uniforms are gathered inside the cargo hold of a large military transport aircraft, likely a C-130 Hercules. Several soldiers wearing communications headsets are visible, with the rear cargo ramp open, allowing natural light to illuminate the interior. The scene appears to depict a pre-mission briefing, loading, or aeromedical evacuation preparation.
    A U.S. Air Force C-130J Super Hercules military transport aircraft is parked on a tarmac under a partly cloudy blue sky. The aircraft is painted in standard gray livery and displays visible markings including 'U.S. AIR FORCE' on the fuselage, an American flag on the tail, and the serial number 16003. The setting appears to be a military airfield with a tree line visible in the background.
    A man in a light blue shirt stands inside the cargo hold of a large aircraft in front of a red Salvation Army Emergency Disaster Services vehicle. The truck bears the text 'Hope Is On The Way' and the Salvation Army shield logo. The setting appears to be a military or cargo aircraft being used to transport disaster relief equipment.
    A military aviator in an olive green flight suit is briefing a group of approximately 15 civilians and personnel inside the cargo hold of a large military transport aircraft, likely a C-130 or similar aircraft. The speaker appears to be gesturing with both hands as he addresses the group gathered on both sides of the cargo bay. The setting suggests an official tour, orientation, or community outreach event.
