Petty Officer 2nd Class Catherine S. Nutting, a corpsman and surgical technician with 1st Medical Bn., attached to Special Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force Association of South East Asian Nations, shows the capabilities of a Shock Trauma Platoon, to foreign media personnel, during a static display aboard amphibious transport dock ship USS Anchorage (LPD 23) in support of the ASEAN conference held by U.S. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel in Hawaii, April 2, 2014. Shock Trauma Platoons provide minor surgical treatment and stabilize patients in an expeditionary environment before bringing them to facilities where more advanced treatment can be provided. Delegates and media personnel, from 10 Southeast Asian countries, attended the exhibit to learn more about the Navy and Marine Corps’ humanitarian aid and disaster relief capabilities. As subject matter experts with firsthand experience on their equipment, the Marines and sailors who participated were able to increase the international public’s understanding of what the Navy-Marine Corps team can do during disaster situations, and built rapport with foreign officials and militaries.
