00:00.009 --> 00:01.787
This afternoon we're conducting

00:01.787 --> 00:03.731
maritime CASVAC operations off the

00:03.731 --> 00:05.980
coast of Oahu on the MSV light vessel .

00:06.489 --> 00:08.560
What CASVAC is is essentially doing

00:08.560 --> 00:10.671
medical evacuation on a platform that

00:10.671 --> 00:12.782
is not a dedicated medical platform .

00:12.782 --> 00:14.893
So in order to do that on this MSVL ,

00:14.893 --> 00:16.782
we brought over a Connex which we

00:16.782 --> 00:18.610
retrofitted with uh emergency

00:18.610 --> 00:20.610
department section and an operating

00:20.610 --> 00:22.721
room section . We also have a general

00:22.721 --> 00:24.777
purpose tent that is being fitted to

00:24.777 --> 00:26.940
use as an ICU . When we get the call

00:26.940 --> 00:29.218
that we're gonna be receiving patients ,

00:29.218 --> 00:31.218
we immediately go into preparing to

00:31.218 --> 00:33.440
receive those patients , whether that's

00:33.440 --> 00:32.979
hanging blood , medications that we

00:32.979 --> 00:35.201
might anticipate we might need to use ,

00:35.419 --> 00:37.819
and having the right providers and the

00:37.819 --> 00:39.597
right medical team in the right

00:39.597 --> 00:41.708
positions to receive those patients .

00:41.708 --> 00:43.708
Our goal here is to be able to push

00:43.708 --> 00:43.619
damage control , resuscitation and

00:43.619 --> 00:45.786
damage control surgery capabilities as

00:45.786 --> 00:47.786
far forward as possible that we can

00:47.786 --> 00:49.841
continue to bring troops home safely

00:49.841 --> 00:49.479
back to their families .
