Medics from 429th BSB test response capabilities
Soldiers from Charlottesville--based Company C, 429th Brigade Support Battalion, 116th Infantry Brigade Combat Team test their response capabilities during a casualty evacuation and evaluation exercise April 6, 2013, during drill weekend at Fort Pickett. The exercise simulated line unit medics treating causalities at point of injury and sending a medical evacuation request by radio, then transferring causalities at an ambulance exchange point to the company's evacuation platoon. From there, the evacuation platoon transports patients to an aide station operated by medics from Company C where patients are stabilized, treated and evaluated for care needed as a result of their injuries.
