The exercise scenario centered on a simulated mass casualty event resulting from an aircraft fuel tank explosion at Misawa Air Base. In response, the Aeromedical Evacuation Operations Team mobilized for airlift via a C-130J Super Hercules assigned to the 36th Airlift Squadron. Simultaneously, medics from the 35th Medical Group and Japan Air Self-Defense Force collaborated on-site to treat simulated casualties and prepare them for evacuation.
