More than 550 Air National Guard medical professionals from 36 medical groups participated in Medical Readiness University 2026 at the Gulfport Combat Readiness Training Center, Mississippi. The two-week readiness exercise combined classroom instruction with realistic field training to prepare Airmen for expeditionary medical operations. Students completed specialized courses before culminating in Operation Holdem, a 72-hour field exercise that tested clinical, logistical and leadership skills under simulated combat conditions. Through hands-on training and evolving scenarios based on current operational environments, MRU strengthened the Air National Guard Medical Service's ability to deliver medical care in austere, deployed settings.
