exfiltration of the ground force commander and Sgt. Rebecca Martinez, a flight medic for C Company, 2916th Aviation Battalion, 916th Sustainment Brigade, conducts triage of
MEDEVAC of injured Soldiers. “injured” Soldiers at the training village of Barasu here.

Quickly, the ground force commander was
exfiltrated by a loitering Blackhawk. Basic medi-
cal care of the injured took place on the ground
and after several minutes two more “Dustoff”
Blackhawks arrived. Rushing from the aircraft,
Sgt. Lukas Alvarez and Sgt. Rebecca Martinez –
flight medics for C Co., 2916th AV BN – quickly
moved from one injured Soldier to the next. After
triage was conducted by the flight medics, the
remaining security team turned into litter bearers
and loaded the injured onto the helicopters. The
dust-off team flew the “injured” to the Fort Irwin
main post helipad for further treatment.

As fast as the exercise began, the excitement
ended. The loitering Desert Hawks returned to
Barasu, loaded the remaining security team onto
the aircraft and then flew the security team back to
Barstow-Daggett Airfield. Immediately following
the landing at the airfield, a detailed after-action
review began. After the exercise, Garber expressed
the unit’s biggest take away from the exercise.

“This particular exercise … focused on the
planning process and the air mission brief,”
Garber said. “We worked hard on planning and
rehearsed the brief several times. It showed. Those
tasks were our focus for this event and I was proud
to see our junior leaders excel at planning and
briefing. I am looking forward to our next event
where we can continue to build on our lessons
learned in an effort to maintain the Raptor Bat-
talion’s dependable, adaptive and safe support to
the National Training Center.”
