Disaster training
TACHIKAWA, Japan -- Personnel from the Japan National Disaster Medical Center here prepare to load a simulate patient into a UH-60A Black Hawk helicopter from the 78th Aviation Battalion at Camp Zama Aug. 30 during a Tokyo Metropolitan Government Comprehensive Disaster Prevention Drill. U.S. forces in the Pacific have a strong disaster response record in the region. Yokota Airmen delivered 18,000 pounds of supplies to Japanese response teams after an earthquake in Niigata Prefecture in 2004, and U.S. servicemembers delivered nearly 5,000 tons of relief supplies and treated more than 2,200 patients in Southeast Asia after the devastating tsunami the same year.
