U.S. Army HH-60 Black Hawk medical evacuation (MEDEVAC) Medic Sgt. Matt Standford, assigned to Charlie Company, 3rd Battalion, 25th Aviation Regiment, General Support Aviation Battalion (GSAB), 25th Combat Aviation Brigade, 25th Infantry Division stands in front of a HH-60 Black Hawk at Wheeler Army Airfield, Hawaii. The MEDEVAC flight crew is responsible for saving a life after they received a search and rescue call when a man became lost mountain biking to the summit of Mauna Kea on the island of Hawaii Oct. 10, 2019.
“As soon as I found out about the mission I was out in the aircraft setting up and making sure I had everything I needed,” said Standford. “It was 30 degrees
and snowing on top of Mauna Kea and he was already up there for six hours. We didn’t know if he suffered from hypothermia, a fall or something else. I set up IVs, blankets, oxygen, trauma bags and everything needed to sustain care in flight.” (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. Sarah D. Sangster)
