U.S. Army Capt. Matthew Buffington, a pilot with Charlie Company, 3rd Battalion, 25th Aviation Regiment from Wheeler Army Airfield and New Holland, Pa., native, sits in the cockpit of a Black Hawk HH-60M Medevac Helicopter during casualty loading and offloading training aboard Marine Corps Air Station Kaneohe Bay, Marine Corps Base Hawaii, Sept. 2, 2015. The training familiarized the Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting Marines and the first responders from the Federal Fire Department with the gear and procedures the U.S. Army uses in medical evacuation situations. “Training like this makes MCAS K-Bay (Marines) much more efficient in their jobs and also more comfortable dealing with stressful situations such as a casualty evacuations,” said Marine Sgt. Alex Blackwell, ARFF assistant station captain and a Fort Knox, Ky., native. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Brittney Vito/Released)
