Spc. Jason Martin, a medic, wraps a casualty's shoulder during a casualty evacuation exercise, April 19. During the event, a group of paratroopers assigned to the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division's 1st Squadron, 73rd Cavalry Regiment, were injured when a roadside bomb detonated along their patrol. The medics triaged and treated the casualties, transported them to the aid station, and evacuated them on a UH-60 Black Hawk. Designed to challenge the medics, the exercise was the culmination of their field training and taught them how to react in a worst-case scenario. Martin is assigned to Headquarters Troop, 1-73 CAV, and is a native of Springfield, Mass.
