The U.S. Army Reserve 407th Medical Company Ground Ambulance, under the 1st Mission Support Command, conducted comprehensive Medical Evacuation Training using both ground and aerial methods, facilitated by a rotorcraft from the Puerto Rico National Guard. This crucial training, part of the Mission Essential Task (MET), reinforces the collaborative relationship between U.S. Army soldiers as they prepare for future disaster response operations in Puerto Rico. The exercise took place at Camp Santiago in Salinas, P.R., on August 7, 2024.
The event is held annually during Christmas to integrate new soldiers and their families, allowing them to communicate and celebrate the season. It also aims to form stronger, more motivated, and resilient teams ready to accomplish missions.
