Lt. Allison Christ an intensive care unit nurse with the Telecritical Medical Unit at Navel Medical Center San Diego and a Navy corpsmeen with 1st Medical Battalion from Camp Pendleton, California insert a chest tube into a simulated patient as part of a peer-to-peer medical exchange seminar during San Francisco Fleet Week, Oct. 3, 2018. The corpsmen used the Microsoft Hololens, a holographic display headset that allows medical practitioners, off site, to see and instruct individuals in a field environment, when transporting a patient to a hospital isn’t an option. The exercise incorporated innovative technology to increase capabilities to medical responders providing care on scene. As the largest and most significant event of its kind in the nation, San Francisco Fleet Week features a unique training and education program that brings together civilian and military forces. The cooperation and coordination of relationships established during the week-long occasion fosters the development and sharing of best practices in humanitarian assistance recognized by the United States Department of Defense as the model for fleet weeks across the country.
