Aeromedical Evacuation members from the 455th Expeditionary Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron monitor patients during a mission in late February. A typical AE team consists of five personnel: two nurses and three medical technicians. The medical technicians are certified to provide care up to an intensive care level. The nurses assess vitals and consult with the medical personnel that provided initial care, establishing baselines while on the ground. They then monitor for changes during the flight, adjusting care and administering medications as needed for routine, urgent and priority patients. (Courtesy photo)
