Virginia Guard MEDEVAC trains with Richmond ambulance, hospital staff - Jan. 8, 2014

Soldiers from the Chesterfield-based Detachment 2, Company G, 2nd Battalion, 135th Aviation Regiment work with personnel from the Richmond Ambulance Authority and the Medical College of Virginia Feb. 8, 2014, to better understand the process of conducting real-life patient evacuations. Two UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters departed the Chesterfield airport then flew to Powhatan where they linked up with fire and rescue crews to mimic the pick-up of patients. From there, both aircraft flew to Richmond where they were met by ambulances who escorted flight crew members to MCV for a brief tour of the emergency room and an overview of hospital protocol.
