Marines and Sailors with 3rd Medical Battalion participated in Exercise Inochi No Onjin in Okinawa, Japan, June 8th.

Ronald Schoonover, 3rd Medical Battalion Commanding Officer, said:
(SB)
"The focus of this FTX is on patient movement. So every time we go to the field, be it here on Okinawa, we always practice our mission essential tasks, which are: communications with the frontline units or the aircraft delivering the unit, triaging the patient, treating the patient appropriately throughout the medical capabilities that we have inside, and then transporting the patients to the next higher echelon on care."
This week in Marine Corps history in 1979,
