Lifesaver 2009
FL3 team members, pictured at the right, participated in OPERATION LIFESAVER, a multi-agency event coordinated by the 81st Medical Group at Keesler AFB in Mississppi. The exercise provided hands-on experience in setting up a complete treatment facility and treating civilian casualties that resulted from a chemical agent that was dispersed as part of a CBRNE terrorist attack. As you can see, training also included proper transport of stabilized patients aboard C130 aircraft.
