Full description: Airmen medics prepare to roll over a simulated casualty during a base readiness exercise Feb. 29, 2024 at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. This exercise proved unique in providing Airmen medics opportunities for multiple levels of medical care to the in-exercise casualties. The casualties would receive in-the-field combat casualty care, then triage by medical personnel followed by care at the field hospital. (U.S. Air Force photo by Matt Veasley)

    I hope roll over means turning the person on their side or back and not, you know, turning them into a pancake.

      Yes, there’s other pictures of them doing a litter carry. I’d presume doing a roll over to get the casualty into a position to be put in the litter. Seeing that they are wearing JSLIST I’d presume this is a chemical environment simulation, which likely means not dealing with bloodsweeps or any other treatment, and focusing on very quickly moving the casualty to a decontamination line for emergency decon.

      Picture unrelated to your question.
