GUANTANAMO BAY, Cuba (Feb. 28, 2025) – Hospitalman Alex Hall, Hospitalman Jacob Riveracalvo, Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class Keyanna Glenn, and Hospitalman Ashley Mucheru practice litter-bearing during casualty evacuation (CASEVAC) training at U.S. Naval Hospital Guantanamo Bay. U.S. Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command Guantanamo Bay conducted the training to enhance warfighter-focused medical readiness. Sailors practiced loading and unloading a litter on and off a CH-47 Chinook helicopter, first with rotors disengaged to build familiarity, then with rotors engaged to add realism. The training emphasized clear communication, teamwork, and physical endurance to ensure medical personnel are prepared for casualty evacuation operations in any environment.
