2017-08-07 TASK Group Taji Health Company recently conducted aero-medical evacuation training as part of ongoing operational readiness exercises for Operation OKRA.
The exercise was designed to test the capability of the Role 2 Echo hospital to treat and package patients for transport for further treatment at the Role 3 US Hospital in Baghdad.
The exercise included four separate serials which included medical staff from all participating coalition forces posted to the Role 2 Echo at the Taji Military Complex (TMC) near Baghdad.
Simulated patients were packaged for transport inside the R2E and then moved to the helipad to be transported via a US Army Blackhawk.
The US Army Blackhawk lifted off and conducted a simulated move to Baghdad circling the compound at the TMC and then returned and landed to conduct a “hot offload” of a patient before immediately conducting the next serial.
The exercise confirmed the ability of TGT to conduct aero-medical evacuations in partnership with coalition forces and US aero-medical evacuation assets.

The Talisman Saber series of exercises is the principal Australian and United States Military Training activity focused on the planning and conduct of mid-intensity ‘high end’ war fighting.
Exercise Talisman Saber is the largest combined, joint military exercise undertaken by the Australian Defence Force (ADF) and provides invaluable experience to ADF personnel to improve combat training, readiness and interoperability, exposing participants to a wide spectrum of military capabilities and training experiences.
The biennial exercise was conducted for the seventh time in 2017, involving more than 30,000 US and Australian participants, operating in the maritime, land and air environments.

2017-08-07: Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA) 211 “Wake Island Avengers,” 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, participate in Red Flag 17-3 at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev., July 10 to 28.
Red Flag 17-3 is a realistic combat training exercise involving the U.S. Air Force, Army, Navy and Marine Corps and this iteration is the first to have both the Air Force’s F-35A Lightning II and the Marine Corps’ F-35B Lightning II, which is capable of short takeoff vertical landing (STOVL).
The Marines have had operational F-35s longer than the USAF and with their deployment to Japan are providing a significant input into the way ahead with a fifth generation enabled combat force.
