Mobility Solace
Lt. Gen. Mark Ediger, Air Force surgeon general, tours a Transportation Isolation System (TIS) at Joint Base Andrews during Exercise Mobility Solace, Aug. 16, 2016. Mobility Solace provides Air Mobility Command, working with joint partners, the opportunity to evaluate the protocols and operational sequences of moving multiple patients exposed or infected with Ebola using the TIS, while also minimizing the risks to aircrew, medical attendants and the airframe. The TIS is a modular, scalable system, composed of at least one isolation pallet for patient transportation and care, one pallet configured as an "antechamber" to provide medical members with an enclosed space to safely decontaminate and remove their personal protective equipment before exiting.
