220916-N-CZ893-1002 KADENA AIR BASE, Okinawa (Sep. 16, 2022) Service members from the U.S. Pacific Command (USPACOM) Armed Services Blood Bank Center, Okinawa gather low titer O whole blood (LTOWB) from other service members in support of Exercise Kamandag at Kadena Air Base, Okinawa, Japan Sep. 16, 2022. Armed Services Blood Bank Center, Okinawa is the first to collect and distribute LTOWB for emergencies, exercises, combat contingencies, and military treatment facilities in the USPACOM area of operations. The production of LTOWB has the ability to assist with damage-control resuscitation options on the battlefield for pre-hospital treatment of patients in hemorrhagic shock. Whole blood is simpler logistically to position far forward on the battlefield than blood components such as platelets and frozen plasma.
