59th MDW: Medics prepare for national emergencies with Texas A&M’s Disaster Day exercise
Master Sgt. Douglas Gissendanner, 59th Medical Wing operational medicine senior enlisted leader, directs Airmen from the 559th Medical Group carrying a mannequin simulated patient during a national disaster response exercise at Joint Base San Antonio-Kelly Field Annex, Texas, March 3, 2023. Texas A&M University has been conducting emergency response training for 15 years and, for the first time, collaborated with the 59th MDW. Being able to train inflight and utilize Disaster City by collaborating with Texas A&M gives medics a way to hone their skills, prepare for national emergencies and remain ready medics.
