    U.S. Air Force Capt. Kristie Kovalenko, an emergency room trauma nurse, left, U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Anthony Lachat, an aerospace medical technician, center, and U.S. Air Force Maj. Richard Siersma, a flight medicine physician’s assistant, all assigned to the 3rd Air Expeditionary Wing, carry out a Ranger O Low Titer Whole Blood Transfusion during exercise Agile Reaper 24-1 at Tinian International Airport, Northern Mariana Islands, April 11, 2024. During a traditional blood transfusion, a donor is rendered unable to provide additional blood for 2 months. Through the ROLO method, donors are able to have their blood returned to the body if necessary. AR 24-1 uses combat representative roles and processes to deliberately target all participants as a training audience and stress the force’s capability to generate combat air power in an expeditious manner across the Pacific.
