Pacific Prime Delivers Emergency Medical Supplies During Exercise Forager 21
ANDERSEN AIR FORCE BASE, Guam – Service members from Joint Task Force 598 recover an emergency medical supply drop as part of a Pacific Prime training exercise during Forager 21, August 3, 2021. The medical supply drop required the entire joint force starting with the U.S. Army coordinating with the Coast Guard, who called the Navy’s Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron-25 which was unable to respond due to distance. Army and Navy riggers from Group Support Battalion, 1st Special Forces Group (Airborne), and Navy Support Wing Unit -1 built an apparatus at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, that was capable of safely delivering medical supplies to the vessel via a C-130 air drop from 36th Wing.
