Recently, Airmen from the 375th Medical Support Squadron, 375th Operational Medical Readiness Squadron, 375th Healthcare Operations Squadron, and the 375th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron worked together on a Theater Aeromedical Evacuation System exercise to further their ability to move patients safely and efficiently in contested, deployed environments.
As Scott is the only Air Force installation with a fully integrated TAES Battle Lab, Airmen have a rare opportunity to train as a complete system before they are tasked with executing missions downrange.
En Route Patient Staging Systems (ERPSS), Critical Care Air Transport Teams (CCATT), Patient Movement Elements (PME), Aeromedical Evacuation Operations Teams (AEOT), and Aeromedical Evacuation Crew Members (AECM) capabilities were integrated to complete two simulated U.S. Indo-Pacific Command patient movement missions. A total of 17 simulated patients were moved using a C-130 Hercules, deployed medical equipment, and an entirely constructed TAES process line. Airmen coordinated patient pick-up at a simulated overseas hospital, transferred them through each TAES component and delivered them to a care facility.
This type of training benefits Airmen across several Unit Type Codes who support U.S. Transportation Command and Air Mobility Command’s global patient movement enterprise. By practicing as a cohesive TAES team, Airmen strengthen the skills they need for real-world operations.
