Scott AES crew train with U.S. Army burn team
Staff Sgt. John Southwell (left) and Douglas Sanchez secure a litter carrying a simulated burn patient during training on a KC-135 at Scott Air Force Base, Ill., before a training mission with the U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research from San Antonio Military Medical Center, Texas Aug. 28, 2012. The SMMC has the only DoD Burn Transport Team consisting of 6 members who fly worldwide to stabilize and transport some of the worst burn cases. The burn unit depends on AE crews to prepare the aircraft and equipment, interface their Intensive Care Units, assist with patient care in the airborne environment, and safely manages the overall mission.
