Joint Staff surgeon and Army Major General Nadja West explained the exercise included a simulated combat-medicine scenario.
It prepared active-duty and reserve troops from all three countries with capabilities for future crises, and included scenarios for potential humanitarian and disaster relief missions, West added.
“[F]uture operations and conflicts will most likely require small-footprint, agile, adaptable units,” West told the News. “We have to be prepared for any scenario.”
Innovative US military evacuation and joint-trauma registry protocols developed during the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts were used in the exercise, she concluded.
