5th Medical Group evaluates response procedures
MINOT AIR FORCE BASE, N.D. -- 5th Medical Group personnel took part in an exercise here Sept. 22, which involved a simulated terrorist attack with the use of a chemical agent at a designated location. Personnel from the various factions of the 5th MDG responded setting up patient treatment areas throughout the entire medical building, each holding different responsibilities, among them a decontamination zone to treat infected patients. The 5th MDG conducts exercises like these to test the readiness and effectiveness of medical contingency response plan procedures. (U.S. Air Force Photo/Airman 1st Class Jose L. Hernandez)
