Members of the 141st Medical Group participated in a joint exercise with soldiers in the 168th Aviation Regiment here Oct. 31.

Working on a five-man team, the 141st MDG members simulated deploying into a combat environment where patients with surgical needs were waiting. Each patient was assessed and treated as necessary, with wounds ranging from serious internal injuries to a leg amputation.

The 168th Aviation Regiment provided their UH-72 Lakota helicopters for the team to simulate being dropped into the zone where patient care was needed. The 141st MDG also worked with the Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape school to utilize their urban evasion lab for a more realistic training environment.
