Japanese
and U.S. military personnel formed 10 Emergency Medical Technician teams
throughout Japan and Guam
to conduct
a three-day EMERGENCY MEDICAL TECHNICIAN RODEO in May 2002. The purpose
of the 6th annual rodeo was to evaluate how the teams met challenges
in all areas of military emergency medicine, ranging from pilot recoveries
to dealing with mass casualties. These photos represent only the exercise
activities at Misawa Air Base, Japan.
