00:00.189 --> 00:02.356
I'm Staff Sergeant Jacob Olson . I'm a

00:02.356 --> 00:04.500
part of UAD , uh , 1228 Aviation

00:04.500 --> 00:06.539
Brigade . Our role here in jungle

00:06.539 --> 00:08.428
training for these students is to

00:08.428 --> 00:10.739
provide air medical support pending an

00:10.739 --> 00:13.210
accident or training accident occurs .

00:13.220 --> 00:15.553
We can get them to the nearest hospital ,

00:15.619 --> 00:18.420
well as staging for their portion of

00:18.420 --> 00:22.260
med 101 training and medevac evacuation

00:22.260 --> 00:24.316
for the . school itself I'd say that

00:24.316 --> 00:26.538
this is good training for all forces to

00:26.538 --> 00:28.552
have uh today we went over how to

00:28.552 --> 00:30.683
properly load patients into the

00:30.683 --> 00:32.794
aircraft being in the jungle , you're

00:32.794 --> 00:34.923
in these very hazardous environments

00:34.923 --> 00:37.090
you're not only fighting the weather ,

00:37.090 --> 00:39.423
but you're fighting wildlife around you ,

00:39.423 --> 00:41.603
venomous animals and bugs lurk around

00:41.603 --> 00:43.659
every corner in these parts , so I'd

00:43.659 --> 00:45.881
say having the capability . To evacuate

00:45.881 --> 00:48.035
someone to get them to that role

00:48.035 --> 00:50.226
hospital they need for proper medical

00:50.226 --> 00:53.105
support and care is is key in making

00:53.105 --> 00:55.355
sure that uh our troops stay alive . I

00:55.355 --> 00:57.905
think it's a huge strength builder uh

00:57.905 --> 00:59.738
obviously they get to experience

00:59.738 --> 01:01.849
something that not a lot of people in

01:01.849 --> 01:03.627
these parts of the world get to

01:03.627 --> 01:05.849
experience . It's all a big part of the

01:05.849 --> 01:07.961
joint task force we we help them they

01:07.961 --> 01:07.375
help us .
