Corpsman sharpen combat life-saving skills during Blue Chromite
Lance Cpl. Gregory H. James was air evacuated while acting as the victim of a simulated chest puncture wound during Blue Chromite 2016, at Central Training Area, Okinawa, Japan, Oct. 29, 2015. The shock trauma platoon conducted emergency aid after a mass casualty scenario occurred. Blue Chromite is a large-scale amphibious exercise that draws primarily from III Marine Expeditionary Force’s training resources on Okinawa. The location of the training allows participating units to maintain a forward-deployed posture and eliminates the cost of traveling to train. James, from Tarboro, North Carolina, is an electrician with 3rd Medical Battalion, 3rd Marine Logistics Group, III MEF.
