U.S. Navy corpsmen with Battalion Landing Team, 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines, perform fresh whole blood transfusion training inside the medical triage center aboard the amphibious assault ship USS Wasp (LHD-1), off the coast of Okinawa, Japan, Aug. 27, 2018. During the training, the corpsmen withdrew a unit of blood from a volunteer and transfused the blood directly back into the same volunteer – the lifesaving process, known as a walking blood bank, gives 31st MEU corpsmen and medical officers a ready supply of donor blood for the critically injured when transport to a higher level of care at a medical facility is delayed.
