Aftermath of a crash
Sgt. 1st Class Brian Thomas, of the 6th Ranger Training Battalion, checks on the pilot of a simulated downed aircraft as victims lie around the crash site during an exercise on the Eglin range, Oct. 20. The 6 RTB, Team Eglin’s emergency responders and local medical facilities participated in the exercise that simulated a downed aircraft with 12 Soldiers injured deep within the Eglin range. The victims were either evacuated by helicopter or by ambulance to area hospitals. The annual exercise was to validate the battalion’s emergency procedures and test their communication with Team Eglin and local emergency and medical units. (U.S. Air Force photo/Samuel King Jr.)
