This medical air transport scenario involves 3 patients with 2nd degree burns from an explosion. The students treating them work in a C17 medical air transport aircraft. It's a scenario that could happen anywhere in the Pacific Ocean, which is why this air ambulance team is here to get trainned. This team is part of JMAT which means Joint medical air transport team. Today there not focusing so much on medical training, but rather of caring for patients in an atmosphere like this as aircraft engines blare loudly while at work. The trainees learn the valuable skills of medical air ambulance flight practice. This real life practice gives the trainees a more hands on grab of the real life situation there can also be multiple limitations on the patients, you can then find them on the ground, but when they're in flight many probable things can go wrong.
The mac patients are given the oppurintty to be practice on by the students, during the C17 medical air transport flight. As one trainee said "Feeling the sways & stuff like that prepares me for a real life sceario. I was impressed on how alike it was to a real world mission & how hard it was to talk to your team members in a noisy environment. Be ready for trouble-shooting. It's a good way to train for a real life scenario".
This sort of training is a lot more important for the pacific. These surgeons may fly off to far away secluded areas in the world and deal with a large range of injuries. Many times we'll have issues such as a tsunami or a hurricane that will affect those patients and they can bring care on board the medical air transport flight. This training process brings together all of the military. Including the army, navy and air force. Also bringing along foreign students in the pacific like Australia and Thailand.
