Exercise Castaway brought together the 166th Airlift Wing, Delaware Air National Guard; the 436th Airlift Wing, Dover Air Force Base; and U.S. Coast Guard Air Station Atlantic City. U.S. Air Force survival, evasion, resistance and escape specialists, C-5M Super Galaxy and C-130 Hercules aircrews, U.S. Coast Guard personnel and rescue forces practiced personnel recovery operations.
The exercise focused on survival, signaling, communication and coordinated search and rescue procedures that enable recovery forces to locate and recover isolated personnel.
The 142d Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron provides trained and qualified aeromedical evacuation crews capable of delivering in-flight medical care during state, national and worldwide operations. During Exercise Castaway 26-6, squadron members prepared the medical equipment and supplies required to support aeromedical evacuation operations aboard the C-130H3 Hercules.
