PENSACOLA, FL – (October 03, 2023) – Capt. Walter Brafford, commander, Naval Medical Forces Support Command (NMFSC), and Command Master Chief Veronica Brittenum look at patches and unit insignia left by students and organizations that have received training from Aviation Survival Training Center (ASTC) Pensacola, Oct. 3. The pair received briefs and tours of Navy Medicine Operational Training Command (NMOTC)’s Pensacola facilities to which the ASTC belongs were given demonstrations of the facilities and equipment used to train service members in aviation survival. In May of 2023, Brafford assumed duties as NMFSC commander and this visit is part of his initial site visitation tour of the forces under his command. Naval Survival Training Institute (NSTI), a detachment of NMOTC, is comprised of eight ASTC’s and a headquarters unit which specialize in training the pilots, aircrew, and service members who support other specialized communities in the survival skills and techniques to survive aviation emergencies. Students and service members who complete training and courses will be equipped, with an understanding of stressors placed on the body, the rigors of emergency egress for survival in situations in hostile and austere environments. Navy Medicine Operational Training Command (NMOTC) is comprised of six nationwide detachments like NSTI that offer specialized medical training in the fields of aviation, aviation survival, surface and undersea warfare, expeditionary and special operations medicine.
