Lance Cpl. Gregory H. James receives simulated medical care at a field treatment site after being air evacuated during Blue Chromite 2016, at Central Training Area, Okinawa, Japan, Oct. 29, 2015. The Shock Trauma Platoon, part of 3rd Medical Battalion, 3rd Marine Logistics Group, III Marine Expeditionary Force, conducted emergency aid after a mass casualty scenario occurred during an amphibious assault. 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, an electrician from Tarboro, North Carolina, is with 3rd Medical Bn.
