Marine Sgt. Alex Blackwell, Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting assistant station captain and Fort Knox Ky., native, and Marine Pfc. David Renz, a senior rescue man and Colorado Springs, Colo., native, carry a simulated casualty around a Black Hawk HH-60M Medevac Helicopter during casualty loading and offloading training at Marine Corps Air Station Kaneohe Bay aboard MCB Hawaii, Sept. 2, 2015. The two-day training exercise familiarized Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting Marines and first responders from the Federal Fire Department with the gear and procedures the U.S. Army uses in medical evacuation situations. “Training like this makes MCAS K-Bay (Marines) much more efficient in their jobs and also more comfortable dealing with stressful situations such as a casualty evacuations,” Blackwell said.
