National Guard flight nurses are highly skilled combat medics trained to treat, stabilize, and provide inflight medical care to the critically injured or ill while being transported aboard air ambulances during peacetime and combat operations.
AE flight nurses and medical technicians have the capability to fly patients on several different aircraft. The primary aircraft used include the the C-17 Globemaster, C-130 Hercules, KC-135 Stratotanker, UH/HH-60 Blackhawk, UH-72 Lakota, and some Guard units have recently expanded their fleet with the KC-46 Pegasus.
