433rd Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron Reserve Citizen Airmen joined forces with members of the Critical Care Air Transport Team (CCATT) for patient evacuation training at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas on Feb. 3, 2024. The event allowed Alamo Wing medical personnel an opportunity to hone their skills relating to setting up an aircraft for patient transport and providing in-flight care. A CCATT team enhances the ability of an AES to safely transport patients with critical injuries, essentially allowing an aircraft to function like a flying intensive care unit. The presence of CCATT Airmen at this weekend's event also increased the training value because it allowed all members present to work through more complex scenarios. In deployed environments, CCATT teams regularly work alongside an AES, but at home station, the units are often separated. The participation of a C-17 Globemaster aircraft and aircrew from the 512th Airlift Wing, stationed at Dover AFB, Delaware, allowed both units to showcase their interoperability with another Air Force Reserve Command formation. This pevent also allowed Alamo Wing Airmen to conduct necessary requalification, upgrade training, and evaluations.
