This morning CALS was afforded the opportunity to participate in a unique training opportunity with the DC Army National Guard. Med-Evac units are required to stay current with their skills even when not deployed. To accomplish this task military units organize and participate in varying types of exercises to maintain their members skills. PMIC Robert Schapiro (DC Guard), PMIC Sean McKeever (US Air Force), with the support of the Solomons VFD, set up a drill involving an injured child that required a Med-Evac. PMIC Schapiro and PMIC McKeever worked together to create a real life scenario that would be executed at the Navy Recreation Center in Solomons. The DC Army National Guard aircraft received a fictitious call for assistance, plotted their course, and located the landing zone. The aircraft landed safely and the crew member assessed the patient. Once the assessment was complete, the Med-Evac crew had to determine the correct destination and transport the victim to this facility by air. This drill allowed both military and civilian EMS units to work together with potential situations that rarely occur in the DMV region. Both civilian and military units were able to learn from each other and how they may operate together when treating critical patients. The drill was a complete success! This has opened up the opportunities to train with Military Med-Evac units in the area again. Also giving CALS an ability to assist our service men and women in staying proficient while not deployed.
