Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class Gregory H. James II was medically evacuated by air while acting as a victim of simulated spinal injuries during Blue Chromite 2016, at Central Training Area, Okinawa, Japan, Oct. 29, 2015. The shock trauma platoon conducted the emergency aid after the mass casualty scenario occurred. Blue Chromite is a large-scale amphibious exercise that draws primarily from III Marine Expeditionary Force’s training resources on Okinawa. The location of the training allows participating units to maintain a forward-deployed posture and eliminates the cost of traveling to train. James, from Atlanta, is a corpsman with Combat Logistics Battalion 4, 3rd Marine Logistics Group, III MEF.
