Benjamin Chi provided didactic and practical training on the application of external fixation pins and the physics of external fixators as well as unstable pelvic fractures during the pre-exercise team building. Japan Self-Defense Force (JSDF) Hospital Yokosuka and U. S. Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command (NMRTC) Yokosuka personnel conduct surgical training during a joint disaster response drill. The exercise focused on enhancing hospital administrative and command staff capabilities between NMRTC Yokosuka and JSDF Hospital Yokosuka in the event of a large-scale natural disaster, such as a major earthquake. It also provided an opportunity for U.S. and Japanese medical teams to improve emergency response capabilities through collaborative triage and surgical
    training. (U.S. Navy photo by Ai Hazama/USNMRTC Yokosuka Public Affairs)
